I think M45 is an object for darks skies and loads of short exposures. It find it a challenging DSO.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I did around 20 x 2minute expsoures on this one and some shorter exposures as well in fairly LP skies and got zip as far as the nebula was concerned, me thinks this one needs longer exposures to bring it out. IMO
