First M42 Attempt

Hi all, well I'm down in the country and brought the telescope with me, as it is nice dark skies. So I decided to try and image M42, this is my first try at Imaging a nebula and I think it turned out alright. Any advice appreciated. Also what is the best way to get longer exposures (more than 30 secs) on my CPC, I don't have a wedge or a guide scope.

98x25 sec subs, DSS only used 82. Only used 5 Darks.

Equipment Used:
Celestron CPC 800
Nikon D3100
Meade f/6.3 reducer
