darren, i possibly could have mistook it ,i get a bright star with a bank of darker matter underneath about 5 degrees left of the top belt star,i must say though i have an excellent view of the orion area from my backyard ,between trees with no lights, the orion nebula is crystal clear with the 4 small stars in the centre, the omega cluster and the jewel box are also very good to the south but the sombrero galaxy in the north eludes me! although only small ive learnt so many locations with this scope im really quite keen now and go out most clear nights,btw do you know the ngc or m number for the flame/ tanktracks nebula?
