I’ve seen two well away from the long axis of the Trapezium using a 10.1” f6.4 Newtonian (with mirror I had professionally refigured by Suchting). One was obvious, the other on the threshold as I recall. I thought I was seeing things and then realised I was; more stars!
I cannot remember what magnification I was using although I did use my 12mm T4 Nagler a lot back then but it could have been another eyepiece. Contrast is amazing with this mirror and stars are so tight (exceptional seeing required).
