Default ASTRO: NGC 6302 (the "bug nebula")

Here's a picture with the 14" Meade ACF at Kiripotib farm in Namibia,
showing the "bug nebula" NGC 6302 in the southern part of Scorpius. I took a
series of 30 second exposures to try to beat the seeing and guiding errors.

A really spectacular image. You can really perceive the 3D aspect of
the clouds reflecting the light from the star.
