Abstract
NGC 6302 is a bright, bipolar planetary nebula (PN) that exhibits a wide range of excitation and ionization conditions, together with complex structure and kinematics. High-velocity (> 300 Km s−1) flows were detected in the nebula, which are believed to originate as a wind from the central star (Elliot and Meaburn, 1977). A very high effective temperature ~2x105K is estimated (Rodriguez et al., 1985) for the central star, which is heavily obscured from view, being located within a neutral filament in the nebular core.
