The problem is similar to the amateur portrait photographer who puts the person’s head at the bottom of the image with too much sky at top. I hope that helps a little. I always struggle to find the optimum composition for a complex extended nebula. I really don't know the optimum solution for this object and focal length.
I'll have a look at that. Composition with a square sensor can be a little challenging at times as we all used to the 35mm full frame shape which is familiar.
