Chris, will have a go the next clear night and see if i can find M42 and will post back and let you know how i got on.
Have got Stellarium but have just bought a new laptop so will move all the files over to the new one and will just keep getting out there  |
My advice....join an astronomy club/society. You'll get to meet new friends and you'll also learn more in one night than you could ever do by yourself.
M42 is the Orion Nebula.....it's the middle hazy patch in the "Sword of Orion".
