Help with image processing (Horsehead)

I'm relatively new to this amazing hobby, but I've produced some astrophotos I'm very happy with. This time however not so much.

Got 2 hours worth of exposure data on the Horsehead Nebula (72 100s exposures @ISO800). However there are too many photos for my computer to handle on photoshop, so I instead turned to DeepSky Stacker to stack the images. After importing the result to photoshop and processing my usual way the result was extremely underwhelming.

Not sure if my issue is with DSS or just my images, but I though 2h would be enough to get a bit more on this target.. Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated!!!

And the image looks this horribly stretched because it's the only way I could see any actual detain around the horsehead!

Equipment: Skywatcher BD ED100 on NEQ6, Unmodded Canon EOS 700D
