Graham - I think its nice, although the dim dusty areas seem to have been brought up to match the brightness of the core of the nebula, then layered in, in much the same way that you would layer in the burnt trap.... It looks a little unnatural, but that said, there is nothing wrong with unnatural...

Detail and colour look ok to me, guiding and focus seem pretty sweet too..

Tell me, did you by chance happen to use GradientXterminator on this image? I've had similar final results of M42 thanks to gradientXterminator in the past... ?

Alex.
