Re: Binocular Icon 24 : The Veil Nebula in Cygnus.

Rony,

Another outstanding observation of a difficult, but interesting object. The Veil Nebula (NGC 6960/6962/6979/6992/6995) is very difficult, as you point out, to observe unless using an oxygen III (OIII) filter and under dark skies. The fact that you have recorded it as such is a testament to your observing skill. I look forward to your future observations.
