Thanks Rob

And I'm with you- what nebulosity in binos
Okay Ron, will try hard and see it from a dark site. Pretty sure I see nothing from my backyard either but will give it a go anyway. Hold on.. come to think of it, nebulosity around it hasn't jumped out at me thru a telescope either
I will add M45 to the list, thanks Ron. Goodness knows why it wasn't on there in the first place- perhaps because it's such an obvious object, but then again the obvious can often be missed, re people looking for things to see and me posting about it here grrrr.
