My first M42

I bought my scope in April and have been looking forward to capturing the M42. Last night I got it and I am pleased with the result seeing its my first attempt. I would appreciate comments as to how I can improve next time. It was a single shot 30 secs. I did take 20 subs and stacked them but this single was the one I liked better than the stacked.

Hi CC

I use Deep Sky Stacker. I stacked 12 at 60 sec, ISO 1600. The resulting image was very dark but the colours came out ok when using levels but I could not get the whispery edges that my single sub produced and the stars were no more clear. I have attached the stacked subs for you to look at, the colours are more vivid.
