M42 image with GSO f/4 without autoguide

Hi

I am beginner in astrophotography and I would like to share my first image of M42 taken last night using GSO 8" f/4 from light polluted area of sydney. This was taken with the normal RA motorised equatorial mount telescope. I modified this scope for astrophotography by pushing primary mirror. I processed the images using deekskystacker which very good software and easy to use. I don't know if I can enhance this image any further, any suggestion will much appreciated.

Details of equipment:
GSO 8" F/4
RA Motor drive
Canon ESO 400D
Exposure:5 sec
No. of frames:39
ISO 1600
No coma corrector
