SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC MAPPING OF THE PLANETARY NEBULA NGC 6369

In this work we present the results of mapping the planetary nebula NGC 6369 with longslit spectroscopy. The observations were carried out with the CTIO 1.5 m telescope and Cassegrain spectrograph. Ten slit positions were observed across the nebula with a total exposure time of 11 hours. All positions were then combined to create \images" in emission lines like [O III] 5007, H , [N II] 6584 and others. These images can then be used to study the classical diagnostic line ratios such as the [S II] doublet, which is a density indicator. The [S II] ratio maps, as well as the H= H extinction maps for this object and total line uxes for the most important lines are presented.
