Tony, I am still experiencing a series of electronic flash-backs and unexpected file corruptions...
Ok, here they are - the Veil Nebula sketched twice using different scopes.
The first is with my brand new 8" f/4 Kulali dob using an ES 30mm 82° and an NPB filter. This EP-scope combination gives me a 3° True Field of View, and the ENTIRE Veil just squeezes in!
The second was with my 17.5" push-pull dob using a Celestron 23mm Axiom LX and an NPB filter - just the eastern section of the Veil here.
You will find a more extensive write-up on these sketches in my blog (link in my signature below).
I can only ever hope to try to do justice to this incredible object. I was not expecting to view it, ever! And yet Morton pointed it out to me, and well, WOW! Thank you Morton and Astrofest!
Mental.
