+15.5 SFC brightness, damn, that's low, maybe within reach of a 12" under perfect conditions. I think the optimum mag for this object would be in the 60-80x range, you want a bit of mag to darken the background sky but also maximise your FOV due to the nebula's size.

unfortunately, we'll have to wait several months now to attempt this one.
