B33 was visible fairly easily from a high altitude site a few months ago with a 4.7" telescope @ 38x + UHC filter. It is not horsehead-shaped as with larger apertures but still visible. Also it was a lot easier see from the high altitude site in Spain than from a dark site in Finland even when using an 8" telescope.
