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?

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

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.
