Michael, very nice sketch there mate, . You've managed to lay down so much faint and expansive detail. Nicely done with M43 too. It is surprisingly textured too.

Next new Moon, have another look at M42, and spend some time with higher powers on it. You should be able to pick up more details that you may want to add to your sketch. You'll be amazed what you'll pick up at around 125X and 200X, particularly around the dark pillar and the Trapesium.
