Once we have Zeta Tau in view, it should be possible to navigate to M1 situated very close to it.

M1, the Crab Nebula! This is the only supernova remnant in Messier's catalogue. A very special object, afsos that it is at magnitude 8.4, making eyepiece views through moderate aperture amateur telescopes not very telling.

To locate it, one needs to first locate the star Zeta Tau, in one's field of view.
