As Jen said it was partly due to the full moon and partly to make the most of an unknown cloud free window. Plus 3 min allowed me to catch a good part of the nebulosity in the image window without burning the Trapezium and surrounding area out too much.

Thanks Graeme. It probably is reversed. I know I saw a bullet checked in maxim the other day and it had something to do with flipping an image horizontally. I remember thinking then I'd better come back and check that (busy doing something else att). Never did. Can't remember where I saw it I like it though, the reversed image, it gives different perspective.
