Orion Nebula

I finally had a chance to go out early this morning and check out the Orion Nebula. It's the first time my telescope has been used in at least 2 months and the firsy nebula I have seen. I actually went past it four times because I just assumed it was a bit of fuzzy glare. Was I mistaken in expecting it to be brighter than what it was? I live in town (a population of roughly 4000ish) so maybe I would have been going somewhere with darker skies. What are other people's experiences with these things?

I would like to find Eta Carina tonight, but now I don't know what to look for.
