This is the most impressive target in the sky. Orion nebula offers countless of details, thus is hard to sketch. Because I am not much of a drawer, I started in a bad weather with this (less details, less sketching). Even in bad weather, the Trapezium was easily separated to four stars and southern "wing" reached almost the edge of field of my panoptic. I get back to this one as my skills (and weather) gets better.
