Object Information:

(NGCs 6992) Is the eastern area of the Veil Nebula, a supernova remnant in Cygnus . Traveling 3.3° south of epsilon Cygni, you come to 52 Cygni, which sits in the center of the western Veil. The Eastern Veil sits 2.5° WNW. Both areas are extremely faint and elongated. An OIII filter enhance the object. NGC 6992 lies to the east part, and shows a wealth of filamentary detail. It takes quite a large scope, perfect conditions, and plenty of patience to appreciate their filamentary stucture.
