Is this the Great Nebula in Orion? think I used to be able to pick star pattern out, or one similar to it, in the Northern hemisphere and have noticed it down under before. Is it possible that this is the same one which is able to be viewed from the UK also? i.e towards north and low in the sky from Oz.
I notice there are a few Nebulae there but all with a magnitude of 30. Will gove it a go if you think I should be able to see these with my scope. Fill you in after the weekend.....weather permitting!
