The Blue Planetary is one of my favourite things. As a newbie, finding it by star hopping was initially quite difficult, but with patience and a reasonable star chart it does appear.
I got onto it originally with a 6" SCT and have never used filters, so you should be able to get it, using good logic (your eyepiece image may be upside down or back to front or when compared to your star chart!), and above all, patience!
Yep, it is worth it!
