yeah without a doubt..

I've had a brief look at the horsehead region through my 8", whilst i couldnt actually make out the horses head, I knew due to the area where i was looking an in general "what i was looking for" that I was looking at horsehead.. I've been told that using the correct filter (i cant recall at this time if it was a UHC or LPR that someone recommended) I should be able to make out the horses head even with only 8".

Witch head neb can be VERY difficult to find on scopes above 12" which in general (given good conditions, and a DARK sky) shouldn't have much trouble spotting horse head.
