Thanks for the feedback and compliments, everyone. Much appreciated!
When I get serious about M42, I'll definitely be doing two sets of lights, as suggested. I just have to wait until it's above next door's roof long enough to capture it. (Which will be December / January, from memory.)

It seems to work well for me. I chose 0C because it's about 10 degrees below ambient, so not too much strain on the cooler. All you really need is a stable temperature for the sensor. I might try a bit cooler, say about -5C, as I noticed a couple of 'hot' pixels in my last set of dark frames.
