Horsehead nebula

Should I be able to see it through an 8" dob?

I don't do this often enough, so with a clear patch of sky I decided to look at it (after realizing where it was while using starry night). I'm pretty sure I found the star, but I couldn't see anything next to it.

I was using a 12.5mm plossl that came with my scope. I tried the 6mm but it was really hard to see anything.
