its very well framed and composed, thats for sure, although colours look very washed out, and your right its so noisy its screaming, but as you rightly say, more time and data would pep this up.
I must admit, i am interested in your choice of colour, i have imaged M45 and it was blue, and i mean that wierd blue that you dont find in nature, vivid blue, as was the reflection nebula around it.
Although its a steep learning curve, keep at it. I know it takes a pair of niagras to post your images here for open critique, so well done you.
