This is the first time I've ever seen this color in it, probably due to the low magnification and large exit pupil. The seeing was poor, and I could barely make out the E and F stars in the trapezium at 160x. |

The 28° latitude and high altitude of the nebula were probably contributing factors to its apparent brightness. |

It's transparent and steady, although cold, 23°F, -9°C. Perhaps a Pickering 7. The nebula is well defined, although I do not see any green in it. The E and F stars of the trapezium are easily seen. |

The F almost vanishes in the 6mm. In the 15, there is a hint of greenish color on this rather clear, steady night. |

It was not helped by the LPR filter. Burnham gives the distance as 53", and give the position angle as 18 degrees. |
