Orion was the first constellation I learned...and is my favorite.

I find this baffling. It states that the Trapezium cluster is visible “near the center” of the image, but I sure don’t see it! In most images, this cluster, dominated by four stars of course, is very bright, and dominates any low powered view of the region. I can’t orient myself to this view at all, using the optical images available on the internet.
