NGC6992 - The Eastern Veil

This is a short, 3-hour Ha shot of the Eastern Veil from a couple of nights ago. (I'm in the middle of collecting OIII data for a couple of objects in the pipeline, but the moon is getting in the way, at present ). So, I took the opportunity to swing over to this object to snag some exposures.

I almost, but not quite, get the entire nebula in the FOV. Makes me want to do an eventual mosaic.
