Possibly, but that covers a large area, and if you have Alnitak in the FOV it's brightness will prevent you seeing the horsehead.
The 2 stars I listed are close to the horsehead, which makes it easier to find. You can see them in the photo you posted. HD37903 is inside the nebula NGC2023. Go straight up to see HD37805, which the horse is looking at. Then make a right angle to the horse. If you have an atlas that identifies those 2 stars it makes the task easier.
