Hi Grant, welcome to the Noble Pursuit! Over the many years I have been observing, the competing elements of Joy and Frustration are equally poised. The Cosmos is so incredible that I am prepared to proceed on that basis.

If you are looking for some other interesting objects to look at, try:
*The Great Orion Nebula (middle "star" in the handle of the saucepan)
*Rigel (Bright star above the saucepan - it has a lovely secondary star which is worth seeing)

and for a challenge....

*47 Tuc (near the Small Magellanic Cloud in the southern sky)
