horsehead

Hi there, saw the flame nebula on the weekend with the dust lanes quite clear but couldnt see anything else around it. Pretty keen to see the horsehead now. if im looking at the flame neb which direction am I looking in to find the horsehead. I have found some maps but they are quite confusing working out the orientation. From whatI can tell, if our eyes were good enough to see the flame nebula naked eye, would I be looking north and slightly right for the horsehead trail? Any help with this would be appreciated. Also, I am considering buying a h beta filter, is there anything else that this would be useful on or would I be buying it for one target only?
