I have to stop reading your reports. I was all set up and had the scope out for a couple of hours. I was ready to run through the Messier open clusters from Auriga up to Canis Major. Went out at 11am and there was a huge band of cirrus over everything. I used it as a filter on Sirius for a while - no little doggy.
When you talk about the "core" of M42, are you inside the trapezium? You didn't pick out the G star, did you (mag. 16)?
