These group of clusters can be found by navigating to '''HD 36560'''.
* These group of clusters can be found by navigating to '''HD 36560'''.
* '''Theta Orionis C''' can be found using the search feature on the galaxy map.
* '''NGC 1981''' can be found by navigating to '''NGC 1981 Sector YZ-Y C11'''.  A class A Blue Supergiant can be found near this cluster by navigating to '''HD 37660'''.
* Both '''Collinder 70''' and 69 are particularly difficult to make out in the rich star-field found in the '''Orion Nebula'''.  The most noticeable clustering of these stars are possible to find through the following:
* '''Collider 70''' can be reached by navigating to '''COL 70 SECTOR MR-U C3-8'''.
* '''Collinder 69''' can be reached by navigating to '''DM99 8'''.
* '''Mintaka''' and '''Alnitak''' can be found by searching for them via the galaxy map.
* '''NGC 2232''' can be found by navigating to '''10 Monocerotis'''.


'''Theta Orionis C''' can be found using the search feature on the galaxy map.
==== '''<u>Objects near the Nebula</u>''' ====
 
* '''IC 418 '''(also known as the '''Spirograph Nebula'''), is a planetary nebula in the Milky Way Galaxy.  It can be reached by navigating to '''BD-12 1172'''.
'''NGC 1981''' can be found by navigating to '''NGC 1981 Sector YZ-Y C11'''.  A class A Blue Supergiant can be found near this cluster by navigating to '''HD 37660'''.
* The carbon star '''R Leporis, s'''ometimes called Hind's Crimson Star, is a well-known variable star in the constellation Lepus, near its border with Eridanus.  '''R Leporis''' can be found by navigating to '''R Leporis'''. 
 
* '''IC 2118''' (also known as the '''Witch Head Nebula''' due to its shape) is an extremely faint reflection nebula believed to be an ancient supernova remnant or gas cloud illuminated by nearby supergiant star Rigel in Orion.  The Witch Head Nebula can be reached by navigating to the '''Witch Head Nebula'''.
Both '''Collinder 70''' and 69 are particularly difficult to make out in the rich star-field found in the '''Orion Nebula'''.  The most noticeable clustering of these stars are possible to find through the following:
* The nebula '''Messier 78''' (also known as M 78 or NGC 2068) is a reflection nebula in the constellation Orion.  It can be found by navigating to '''Messier 78'''.
 
* The Running Man Nebula, Barnard's Loop, The Horsehead Nebula, the Flame Nebular, the Horsehead Dark Region, and the Orion Dark Region are also located within this region.
'''Collider 70''' can be reached by navigating to '''COL 70 SECTOR MR-U C3-8'''.
 
'''Collinder 69''' can be reached by navigating to '''DM99 8'''.
 
'''Mintaka''' and '''Alnitak''' can be found by searching for them via the galaxy map.
 
'''NGC 2232''' can be found by navigating to '''10 Monocerotis'''.
