I've included a small chart of where M45 is and what it would "sort of" look like...

The other images was taken through a telescope and is what you would see if you have an "electronic retina".


You mention the "saucepan" in your original post. I am confident you are viewing M45...

Get a set of binoculars out, the sight of M45 in them is very nice.
