m42 help needed

Hi all,
I'm tossing this to all you pros, cause I'm at my wits end.
After a fabulous session last night, I accumulated what I thought was enough data to produce a pretty good image, not so.
The nebulosity seems fine, nice and smooth, but the back ground, the dusty areas, are noisy and streaky.
Is it just lack of data???
This is a 100% crop, 3hrs of 5min subs @ iso800.
I'm out again tonight and will change the setting to iso 400, see if that makes a difference. Might try using ICNR too.
