Hi all
While out on Tuesday night I decided to scan through Cygnus, specifically I was looking for the Veil with an 18mm Radian and O-III filter in the 12" dob. What I stumbled across was the Eastern Veil Nebula, man this is huge, the nebula must have gone through five or six fields of view and it is beautiful. The 18mm yields a magnification of x83, my lowest yield is a 27mm Panoptic, but this is a 2" EP and I don't have a 2" filter.
I would dearly love to sketch this object, but I think I would have to get something like a 41mm Panoptic and 2" O-III, this would give a mignification of x37 and reduce the amount of fields I would have to sketch.
Has anyone attempted to sketch it? If so what were your results?

The Eastern Veil is a great object to observe. As you said, it is huge!
Personally, I would use a UHC filter instead of a OIII filter. I find the OIII filter a little too strong for my liking.
As for shetching it, I haven't tried it. Would love to see one done though.
