 Around 5h 30 RA and just below the celestial equator That location sounds like it's in 'Orion' The belt stars are pretty much on the equator, so just below that??? Orion Nebula maybe (m42)????? Gimme 5 mins to check exact co-ords wth software      |

| I checked with 'Cartes du Ciel', and 'Starry Night' software. Those co-ords turn out to be just a little above M42 - on the Southern edge of the big, wide, open cluster that surrounds Orion's belt stars - Collinder 70.  Nearest thing to those exact co-ords is a 10th magnitude star.  |
