Hi Ian,

The flame nebula in Orion is quite easy provided you have a very dark transparent sky and make sure you keep the foreground star out of the FOV. I have seen it easily in my C6 Vixen/Celestron (6" f/5 newtonian) and got really good views of it through westky's 10" f/5 GS dob and through my own 10" GS dob.
