mate, its a mainly hydrogen neb, which you need a hbeta filter to see visually in dark skies (ie not in town). With very dark skies you should be able to see it with averted vision. I have only seen this one myself through a c11 with a nag31mm and a 2" Hbeta filter. I could just make it out.

EDIT it was a H beta filter
