Hey Andrew
I wouldn't call that useless! You got NGC2024 and 2023, Alnitak looks lovely, you can see the horsey, and a bit of processing magic will bring out some detail. Certainly a lot better than some attempts I have seen so well done. I cannot offer any advice as to the elongated stars except to say they are only really noticeable in the top left and a little bottom left. Do a bit of processing and a judicious crop and you will have a not bad image there IMHO.
Hopefully an more expert imager will help you out but I would be happy with that result for starters.
