Thanks Greg. these bipolar PNs all seem to have quite similar structure. Although this one is called the red spider, it certainly does look like a butterfly as well. the Hubble shots of this show some very beautiful and graceful detail in the clouds - I could only get a rough glimpse of the detail, but it was still worth doing.

thanks Marc. yep it's small - the main nebula has about the same angular extent as Jupiter.
