Would you consider darkening the background (yellow M42) a tad, it might bring out the nebula even more....

What a great image that is I love the detail Great set up to. I'm looking at getting a side by side plate to .I think The C14 is to high an F ratio so the plan is to have to smaler scopes on the CGE mount for the deep sky imaging and the C14 for the planets. here is my set up. Happy new year.

What a great setup you have. Soon I'll be getting a solid vinyl shed that will roll off as a whole unit. When rolled back for viewing will be able to close the doors for warmth and comfort. Then just roll back into closed position to protect scope and other equipment. This will give be both a roll off roof observatory and a roll off shed observatory.
Soon to be the ASH CLUSTER OBSERVATORIES

That is an excellent image. The trapezium is always a pain in the butt. Either ignore it (seriously!) or get a small series of 30-secs subs and incorporate them into the final image.
Either way this image is a keeper. I would certainly not turn my back on it!
