Lots to look at up there. Hard to cover it all in a couple of lifetimes unless you have a lot of idle time and very clear skies
Keep at it.

That one is right up there. If you observe it at dusk before it gets fully dark you often see this green tinge, particularly in bigger scopes. I have seen the green tinge in an 8" scope, several times at dusk.
In a big scope (14" plus) under dark skies you actually see a lot of pink in M42 as well.

Unfortunately we can't turn back the clock and replay that one. That will never happen again in our lifetimes.
