Seestar S30 Pro at f/5 in Equatorial Mode.
1.7x mosaic.
163 minute stack of 20-second subexposures.

Here's how it looks with our Moon overlayed on it (shown to correct angular scale)
The Moon is about the size of the width of my thumb held at armslength. The full Veil Nebula is about the size of my fist held at armslength.
