For me the horsehead was visible in a celestron 130mm telescope under fairly dark skies (dark enough for triangulum and sculptor to be naked eye) without massive difficulty on multiple nights and only one year of experience. It should be visible in a celestron Nexstar 4SE given a good night, dark skies and a bit of practice. I used no filter to see it. It won't be easy, but by no means is it impossible. Still though, probably best to start with something easier like the orion or carina nebulae.
