I think Michael was led astray by the images of this object. If you
noticed, M42 does not look like the images either, if you pay attention to
the details that are shown, relative to the visible stars there.

In the future, remember that images show objects much brighter and clearer
than what any telescope normally available to amateurs can show. The actual
objects are going to be much fainter, and in fact appear quite different
from the images and photographs. Even the colors are "off" in those images.

Can it be seen with ETX-125?

Michael

it can be seen with an ETX125: I can see it in my ETX105, but you will
need good dark-adapted
eyes.
