Description: Very large supernova remnant! It consists of two main parts, which are NGC 6960 (western) and NGC 6992, -5 (eastern), and lots of other dimmer parts. NGC 6960 and NGC 6992, -5 were easy to see with O III filter. With the aid of the filter, also some fainter and less distinctive nebulous patches came visible with averted vision.
