Orion Constellation just digital camera

Put the point n shoot 7MP sony cybershot camera on the telescope for tracking and took 16 30 second exposures with the 3x optical zoom at ISO 400. Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker,edited in Fitswork and Gimp. No flats or darks, just jpegs! The star colors were originally really blue, guess that's camera CA?. This is my 1st widefield attempt and with a DSLR should be stupendously better, but still, I was proud of my little 7mp Sony.
 The fuzzy spot towards the bottom is M42, the Orion Nebula.
