M42: Orion Nebula
Friday night, December 12, 2008, I was able to go outside and find the Orion Nebula to the right of Orion's belt. From my ETX-80, it looked like a cluster of stars (4 to 6) with a cloudy backdrop. I was greatly surprised to see a pretty good few (according to other amateur astronomers) due to the extremely bright full moon (which was also quite spectacular with a 4mm with 2x Barlow. Just so you know, I'm learning how to navigate and properly image things with the scope. Fun times!
