NGC 6995
Sketch by Serge Vieillard
Serge Vieillard used a 60 cm telescope to observe the Veil Nebula on September 2 from Restefond. He notes that his drawing is really a pale reflection the extraordinary sight through the telescope, where the nebula was large, obvious and extremely detailed. Every detail was complex in structure, and evoked the sense of bones in three-dimensional relief. So that he could focus on observing and drawing the nebula, Serge used an astrophoto to generate the star field.
Serge,
Excellent and accurate rendition of this portion of the eastern Veil Nebula. It well represents the way the veil looks in a 24 inch scope.
