On M16, I have a 10" dob and still can't see anything. Even after I put in the Ultrablock, there's VERY little nebula to pick out. The cluster is pretty, so enjoy that as well. There are plenty more fine nebulae around. The Blue Snowball and the Blinking Nebula ( Blinker ) are 2 great clouds, and are pretty easy to find by starhopping, but go slow, they're small and look like stars if you go too fast. If you move slow, the little dot doesn't look the same as a star. The Omega is pretty to, and it's big and bright in the filter. So, the cluster is all you'll see, no nebula, unless you take pictures of it. Keep enjoying those other Nebula's!
