The Orion Nebula & Co

Greetings to all.
I was just looking at an interactive image of the Orion Nebula taken by the Hubble and realised I may need some assistance in identifying a certain something I came across.
I've posted the link to this image below:

home.exetel.com.au...

To locate the object just place your cursor at the center of the image and slowly scroll up to magnify...the object should be slightly to the right of the cursor or there about.

Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Cheers!

I'm sorry, but you'll need to be far more descriptive about the object in question.

I can see lots of things in the middle, from a bow-wave around a star, to a Herbig-Haro object (small black finger of dust), to lots of messy dust filaments.

Yes, thats the Herbig-Haro object I was referring to (Hope I've identified it correctly there).
