Yes - but it was faint and I had to put black cloth around my head and the eyepiece. And it definitely wasn't as good as in my 14.5" dob, that I got a year or two later. But I did see it with a bit of staring.

So all up, I've seen the Horsehead, the Comma under the Orion Nebula and one other non-famous nebula using the H-beta filter. Not really a good investment.
Cheers,
