It is one of the most easily recognizable constellations, it has a very destinctive pattern. one of the stars you are seeing in the sword isnt really a star. It is a stellar nursury, a nebula that is bieng lit by the intense radiation of the new stars. Its called the Great Orion Nebula, and if I can find it I will post the drawing I made of it with a smaller 6 inch scope.
