I revisited Orion and took another stab at it, but using a 1000mm telescope to see what I could come up with. This is around 30 four minute exposures..

thanks so much - just SO MUCH to learn!! Key for me in this leap forward (for me anyway) was recognizing that the color channels had different degrees of "stretchability" available. So I broke the color image into its RGB components and stretched each to my satisfaction looking for additional detail. And then combined them back again and learned a little how to work with masks to control colors here and there.
