Even I had a chuckle over my phurfy. That was good.
Put it down to little sleep, too much Xmas celebrating, too much alchohol, too much comet chasing the last week, producing a video the last few days with even less sleep, and the fact that I was on a phone conversation while making that post.
I can "nearly multi task".
The Pleiades cluster is in Taurus (naturally) and will edit my post accordingly.
Tremayne, regarding the Orion Nebula, Brent is spot on- viewing conditions can indeed have a huge impact on how we view deep sky objects in particular. Star clusters less so. Keep trying, you'll find different nights can give different views. For a better view, try for a night when it's fairly high up and the stars aren't twinkling. Personally, I don't bother with it if it's sitting under 40 degrees in the sky- too much atmospheric disturbance.
