NGC6337 - Cheerio nebula

By Rodrigo Maeda

NGC6337 - Cheerio nebula It is a planetary nebula in the direction of the Scorpio constellation, and it has this name due to its shape, which resembles a certain type of breakfast cereal. I confess that I did not know it, and I found it when browsing through the information on the SkytechX software. So, when I pointed my telescope, I found it very interesting and beautiful, so I decided to do this capture project. There were 385 frames of 60 seconds each over two nights of capture here in the backyard of my house in Bortle5.
