Wow, good shot and great seeing and tranparency, can get a hint of m42 nebulous. Slight star trail but if you can set to iso3200 with about 10sec ( 300d you can do it ) but could be too grainy, but better.

Yeah... the star trails will definitely be shorter with 5 secs! The Nebula is actually quite evident if you view it full size. The pic below is the same from the above - cropped to show M42. Otherwise unprocessed.

Cheers!
