Scorpius-Cats Paw & Bug Nebulas

Hi All,
I havent done these before, they dont leave the impression that Carina or the Lagoon leaves on you, but they do have a reasonable magnitude for imaging, The BUG Nebula (ngc6302) is only 0.8 Arc. Min. so it would have been much better imaged with the LX200-10" (next time) The Cats Paw (ngc6334), and IC-4628 are fine imaged with the 80mm F-8 Scope, ngc6334 is some 40 Arc Min. and ngc4628 is 90 x 60 Arc Min. in size, Its always nice to get some new objects, and theres millions of them out there.

cheers.........Jim

ngc 6334= 5 x 6 Min. at ISO800, DF removed, guided

IC 4628= 4 x 6 Min. at ISO800 DF removed, guided

ngc 6302= 4 x 6 Min. at ISO800 DF removed, guided
