I wasn't going to post this until I got more exposures but it's a rainy day.
M45 stays fairly low over my town but this is what I got in an hour with the D5600 - some nebulosity coming out with a bit of a push in PS.
Thanks for the comments guys.
It seems there are a decent number of objects that show up well with the relatively cheap D5600/D5300.
I've got several images that need more time but I'm really keen to try M78 and NGC 2264/Xmas tree. I took 2x3 minutes of 2264 and the cone was already showing up.
