M42 Orion Nebula
Got my first nebula shot last night. Happy with how it came out considering it's really my first half-decent one and there was an 85% moon. The center looks rather blown out - I feel I'm going to need to start getting into filters to bring out the details in these nebula's.

Stacked in DSS and a very basic processing pass was done in Photoshop (levels). I really need to learn how to do the whole processing thing... can anyone recommend any guides? Most I have found say 'do this' but not with the 'why', I want to understand what exactly I'm doing and why I'm doing it to enhance the data.
Taken in Melbourne, Bortle 8 skies.
Any and all tips/criticism welcome!
