Stephen & I saw 1535 from Heathcote (ASV dark sky site) last Saturday in my 14". It was an exceptional night, good enough to see the Horsehead. Acting on a tip from an observing book, we cranked up the magnification all the way to 457x (via a Pentax XW 3.5). The concentric shells were beautifully clear. So don't hesitate to pull out those short-focus planetary eyepieces for this object.
