I have seen the HH nebula from here with my 12" Dob, but only the head not the chin. I saw it really well from the SPSP with a 25" a few years back. Will (Argonavis) mentioned NGC 5367.
NGC 5367 is easier to see than the horse head and NGC 2626 is fainter than NGC 5367, both were found by John Herschel with an 18.5" that was about equivalent to a modern 16.5" newtonian. His father William found IC 434 in 1786 with the same telescope.
