I think it's only visible in X-ray, no scope any of us have is going to see it...
No, the jet is visible in large amateur telescopes (it was discovered in some shorter exposure photographs of the central region of M87 by Curtis in 1918). I believe that Jay Reynolds Freeman has seen it in a C14 at very high power under very good seeing, and others have seen it in larger scopes. I have tried to pick up the jet only a few times in my 10 inch, but did not see it. Clear skies to you.
