Default Veil Nebula Closeup

Summer is drawing to an end and Cygnus is straight overhead during the night. This may be the best time to observe the Veil nebula, which has 3 bright parts and can be seen in 70mm binoculars on a dark night. Large aperture telescopes show many knots and streamers, especially if you use a nebula filter. Here is a closeup of one of the 3 parts, taken with a 17" telescope:
