NGC 6302, Bug nebula

[Lester]

HI all, got this one last night with the wind buffeting the scope causing the tracking to dance a bit. This image is from 4 and 2 minute exposures with Astro 40D and 14" SCT at F10.

Plenty of detail, it's definitely a long focus object, which will always be challenging ..... More so in the wind.
