I was observing the Trapezium through a friend's 17.5" Dob & noticed the visiblity of the H star. Does anyone know the magnitude of this star & is it routinely seen? Thanks, Mr. Darian Rachal

According to the following web link:
http://astro.geekjoy.com/astrospeak/trapezium.html#1

the H star is quoted at 16 magnitude.

Also,
http://www.astropix.com/HTML/B_WINTER/TRAPEZ.HTM
gives the same 16 magnitude.
