With my 114mm telescope, on a dark country sky, M 42 barley fits in my eyepiece field at 36x, and the details are incredible. The nebula is divided into three areas, according to brightness: The brightest part surrounds the four young stars formed inside the nebula, then continues in the nebulas wings. The medium brightness part is located SE of the Trapezium cluster, and finishes in the point where the eastern wing begins.The faintest area is located in the southern part of the nebula, and continues in the wings. The eastern "wing" is the brightest and longest, and the western one is shorter but wider.In the northern part of the nebula, just above the "Trapezium", you will see a dark intrusion that gives the characteristic aspect of the nebula.
