The famous Bug Nebula in the Scorpion's tail is beautiful bright and detailed face to face. You can obviously recognise the HST photo. Everything is visible apart from the tiny ripples and the colors. It is very unfamiliar to me, but very pleasant that the object itself can be drawn for hours. It is so detailed.


I know it might seem to be showing off but the one single image that comes to my mind about NGC 6302 is the one made by the Hubble Space Telescope. It was also the primary inspiration for me to take a look at the Bug Nebula. As I said before the view in the 16" Newtonian is not that far from the HST photograph. My drawing has been inverted and rotated to get closer to the orientation of the Hubble image.
