      NGC6302 aka Butterfly nebula

      A bipolar planetary nebula with a passing resemblance to a butterfly.

      Data was collected during 2021 and 2022 using the CDK24 and a FLI PL9000 CCD camera, with 53 of the 90 available subs used. Much trial and error involved requiring starting over a few times.
