I went up to a 12.5mm on M42 (I don't have a clue what that means as far as magnification or Focal this or that
) and only saw the 4 brightest stars. It was cold and I wanted to get some more video of Mars so I didn't push it on Orion. If it's clear this weekend I'm planning on an all-nighter Friday or Saturday and want to concentrate on M42 some more (it just fascinates me).
I posted my first Mars and second Saturn in the Images>Solar System board:

My first Saturn will stay locked in a vault where occasionally I may visit it to point and laugh.
