NGC 6992, Eastern Veil

This nebula could be seen only with OIII filter. There was countless of details in Eastern veil, that I could not draw in my sketch, because of my poor drawing skills. In the southern edge I saw a bright area shaped as S letter. In north there was a narrow area, that brightened slowly to the edge of my view. This sketch is only from a southern part of the eastern Veil (1,1 degrees), not whole nebula.
