Yes Troy, you are certainly in the right region and that sketch looks vaguely like M42 but to my eyes it looks curvier. I have only seen colour in M42 once, in a 16 inch telescope but I see no reason why you wouldn't see colour in a smaller telescope. The arrow you drew on the saucepan points exactly to M42.
