Situated in the tail of the Scorpion not far from the bright star Shaula, (the end star in the sting) is a curious object, NGC 6302, more commonly known as "the Bug Nebula". This is a planetary nebula , most likely in the form of a ring seen edge-on. It is quite a bright object and very esay to observe in a 6" telescope. It would probably be better known if it were not in a region containing so many excellent deep-sky objects.
