In this picture, is the red line the belt, and the red circle the nebula?

I'm not really sure what a nebula is, so I don't know what to look for! But I did see a fair few stars directly below the belt.
I can't find the seven sisters though, can't even see it with my eyes!

M42 = The (Great) Orion Nebula
M43 = The Reflection Nebula
In the picture Erik posted above, M43 is the fuzzy 'star' above M42, which is the pink nebula in Orion's sword.
Both are shown here captured in the same field of view:
