Stu, young eyes are a definite bonus. In my 6" scope my daughter could see the green in the Orion Neb. but I couldn't. However, when I got my 10" I could easily see the green colour with it. High magnification (10mm ep) took it away, but was very obvious in my 22mm ep.
The Trapezium is one of my favourites. If you haven't already tried to split the E & F stars within it, here's a map. http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/a...se.php?a=83766
