Descripción
We present internal proper motion measurements of more than five hundred
positions of NGC 2392, based on images acquired with the WFPC2 on bord
of the Hubble Space Telescope for two epochs separated by 8.805 yr. We
measured the amount of motion of local structures in the nebula
determining their relative shift during that interval. We compared two
different methods to determine the proper motions. Using those proper
motions and the radial velocity taken from high-resolution spectroscopic
observations, we were able to estimate a distance of 1050 pc.
