I observed the Veil again last night with a 10" Dob.

It was difficult before the moon set and became a little easier afterward. I did not have a good a view as last time because there has been vegetation burn-offs to prevent bush fires and this has slightly affected visibility.

Using the OIII filter did not seem to assist me. I also used it on the Ring Nebula with and without filter, and prefered the view without the filter.

I will try again after the full Moon and may even take a trip to the countryside for darker skies.
