Stars that just want to show off.

Orion is coming back and I want to be ready. This is a very, very rough processing of an=bout 90 mins of 10 min subs taken early this morning and, as you can see, Alnitak blazes through and swamps the field. These were taken at 800ISO with in-camera noise reduction on with a 1000D and an f/5 8" newt.
The seeing was barely a 5 or 6 with a slight haze in the air from grass fires over recent days.
Would it be better to use either shorter subs, lower ISO, or different processing techniques. These were just stacked with DSS and then levels, curves and saturation in PS.
