Thanks Rob for your input, yes the trap is overdone, its really hard to process something new, this is the first of many multi-exposures for me so I'm still finding my way, processing is also a steep learning curve but hey this is how you find out.

I found that to bring out the Trap, I took a lot more short exposures (10 secs or so) and less long exposures. Try HDR to merge them too - it helps to tame the blowout by using the appropriately-exposed Traps from the shorter exposures rather than the massive highlight from the longer ones.
Great effort though!

Thanks Chris, all taken in, I've seen some master images of M42 on this forum and trying to match is feat on its own even if you do have the recipe.
Nosieware is vicious, I will try and ease off on it and will process the image with less long exposures, this makes sense.
HDR - What software is this, downloadable? Sounds very interesting....
Thanks again, I will reprocess and repost.
