Re: Theta Orionis: Website focus on Trapezium

I came across a really nice website dedicated to the trapezium while
researching the magnitudes of the e and f stars. FYI, they are mag
10.3 and 10.2 respectively. I had no problem resolving either in the
12"; don't remember ever seeing f in the 8". Well maybe once. My skies
are bad and I don't travel much.

Anyway, for any interested, here it is:

Interesting site, thanks. Does anyone know the separation between C and F? With my old C8 I've seen both E and F on good nights. Given their brightness it's surprising how infrequently I've bagged them.
