I doubt very much you'd see it in a 16" scope.

Mike, I have seen this with a C11 with a 2" H-beta filter and a 31mm nagler at Illford. yes you had to avert your vision but once you spotted it you were drawn to it. it was faint but you could still make out the shape. For me is was a awesome experience and I thanked the western sydney astro club member for the experience, unfortunatelly I don't remember his name, but I do have his picture. I tried to see it with my 12" but you really need that filter to see it at all. Paul's image is a great shot.
