Orion's Nebula!

It is the first thing I have seen through the telescope that isn't a planet, moon or someone's window

No, too much light pollution. It was white clouds really. When I'm in Scotland in 3 weeks I stand a better chance!!

If you pause this video at the beginning, you can see Orion constellation quite clearly (the three stars in a line make up Orion's Belt) - then the view through the viewfinder is how I saw it yesterday!
