First outing with equipment. Yes another M42

Hi all fellow Amatuer Astronomers.
Its been a looooong time between posts but have slowly been putting my imaging equipment together.
Decided to try it all out on Orion nebula something bright and easy to see.
Equipment used Skywatcher ED80, Orion Short Tube as tracking scope, Qguider, and Canon 30D for imaging (unmodded). Eq6 mount with goto upgrade fitted. PHD used to to autoguide.
Imaging sequence.
20 x 30sec
10 x 60sec
6 x 3min
9 x 8min
Stacked in Deepsky stacker
Processed in PS3.
Comments welcomed as this is one steep learning curve.
