Great Orion Nebula

I have been up late for the last 2 nights looking to photograph the Andromeda Galaxy. Just before midnight, Orion was rising in the eastern sky and I managed to take some shots of M42 - The Orion Nebula.

I am really please with the result. You can clearly see the Trapezium in the centre and the colours came out well.

I would appreciate if anyone has suggestions for improving the post processing.
