The picture I clicked is from a reflector telescope with a 150mm aperture, on a slightly cloudy sky with a bit of light pollution. But, if you don't have a telescope, you can try to find it during a clear sky (no clouds, no moon, completely dark), with no light pollution near. It's visible to the naked eye as a fuzzy white patch in the sword of the constellation Orion. The bright part you see is M42, it's an H II region. H = Hydrogen, II = ionized (electron stripped off).
