NGC 121 is easy when you spot it. It is just that NGC 104 sits there like a gorilla in the corner - hard to take your eyes off it! I don't think I have looked for NGCs 176 and 152 - new targets, thanks Ron.

Very enjoyable reading, thanks Suzy.

Re the Trapezium stars - given what you said earlier about the seeing I was wondering if you would spot the E & F stars - but sounds like you did. Nicely separated E & F stars in your widefield eyepiece area are a pointer to a good night's observing ahead, in my experience!
