    The Dragonfly Array is a unique telescope that has made some truly unusual discoveries. Now, using a pathfinder instrument for the next-generation Dragonfly, the team has discovered an unusual giant shell of ionized gas near M82.

    The new, improved Dragonfly is a galactic gas detector - Dunlap Institute (utoronto.ca)

    The first-generation Dragonfly array used SBIG STT-8300 cameras. The next-generation telescope uses SBIG Aluma 694 cameras.
