Jimmy,
You could see the Horsehead???????
This is a very difficult object to observe
I have only ever seen it once in a 22 inch
You may have been looking at ngc 2024, just North of Alnitak.Also called the flame Nebula.
This could be an easy mistake to make!
Sunday night was a very good night, I got out myself and had a ball.
Had a very mates over and we all had a good night.
Glad you had a good night to Jimmy
By the way if you want colour in Nebula with your eye get a big scope say over 18" better a 25"
