I used a meade series 4000 super plossl 26mm and 9mm ep's. It's slightly to the left of orion. Try using the free star chart program to help you locate it much easier at your particular time and location. If you have a goto scope or a small scope with goto use that and point it at that direction with a wide fov eyepiece (you have to know your sky ... I dont't know too much, but I enjoy orion as it is out allot around this time of year and am fascinated by it!!! so i have studied it quite allot). Read some books, and find out the brightest stars near the location (I think it lies southeast of Alnitak, the brightest star in Orion's belt).
Good luck and happy hunting! Try an LPR... Im going to get one and try to suck more detail... also try and use averted vision.
IT HELPS!!!
