Easy to locate, more difficult to see, barely visible without filter, much more distinct with a UHC in place, a large glowing arc that nearly crosses the field, a smooth outer edge in contrast to the ragged inner edge, quite pretty

Large nebulosity in a curve. Wolf's photos show that this and NGC6960 are probably one large nebula.
