The horsehead is a very dim object. If you get Alnitak in the field of view, horsehead will likely be in the view with most scope setups. There is a much brighter nebula next to Alnitak called the Flame Nebula (NGC 2024). That should show up in most images, even if the exposure is too short for the horsehead.
