Hey Mick. That's your call
That Deep Space section is definitely for critiques and the like. I guess the forum gods here decided to split beginners off into this forum for whatever reason. If you want to post there, go for it. This is a great image and would suit that part of the forum well.

If you want some comments, firstly, I love that you've exposure blended this, as you've really let that core through well. I can see the trapezium there which isn't an easy thing to do and still retain detail in the darker sections of this nebula. Exposure blending is definitely the trick with Orion.

You've got some elongation of your stars throughout the image, which I guess is understandable when shooting with the Star Adventurer. Just keep that in mind next time.
Also maybe run the image through PS' camera raw plugin and focus on that CA a bit. PS is really good at removing CA, and this looks like a relatively simple removal as it's quite uniform.

Great work
