The Orion Nebula - M42 - Detail Lost in the Core?

Hey guys

A bit of long exposure stuff - it's been a while (finished uni and got married!) - and my first crack at M42.

Setup: NEQ6 Pro, Sky 90, Nikon D40, ISO 800
Details: 6 x 10min exposures, darks, photo shop

A question. Why is the middle blown out / white? Should I bump the SLR settings down to ISO 400, or shoot a combination of a shots - ranging from 2 - 10mins to capture these details?

Cheers,

LOgAn
