Hey Orestis , if you can see the Flame neb, you are in with a shot. Most people regard the visibility of the flame as an indicator for the Horsehead. I've heard reports of people with 4" scopes seeing the HH. I recommend you use a H-beta filter, it really helps alot. If you have a UHC, use it, as it's an improvment over no filter, but the H-beta is superior.

cheers
