Witch Head Nebula

Hi peoples , Myself and others have asked about visually viewing the horsehead with good results but heres a extremely difficult one ,The witchhead nebula (IC 2118), Has this object been logged as a visual (not imaged), I tried a few times to no avail out here in the desert but since a couple of days ago on the astronomy picture of the day which has a great(wide field image) of orion ive noticed i was looking to close to Rigel but now i got to wait till summer when its near directly overhead to give this another shot , i,ll be waiting patiently with the 12` and the 16` to try to satisfy my appetite and hopefully see if only the leading edge of IC 2118 ,I`m interested in others opinions....cheers Kev.
