Left, interesting region of small nebulous spots

This is the main core region of the Great Orion Nebula, using 50 short 10 second exposures that have been combined to keep the blooming and overexposure from such a bright object from marring the image. I noted several small pink spots in a line on the left side of the image, they are not stars, perhaps protostar globules in formation.
