M42 in the Moonlight

I never miss having a go at Orion. Cleared and I usually test everything on M42.
Using 80x400ar at prime, on EQ5 mount, not guiding, 300d (B/W balance set on "sunny" as an experiment to manage Moonlight, quality was set to "small" as I was running out of battery and there was a blackout on. Managed three captures under 50 seconds and also managed a stack with registax (my first this is the only one so far that made it) and tried all the tools I could figure in recently acquired photo shop pro. Here is my result.
