We report an updated value for the distance to the planetary nebula NGC 6309(the Box Nebula). The distance is found through two Kinematic Distance Methods(KDMs): the system of two equations reported in Zhu et al. 2013 and the MonteCarlo method reported by Wenger et al. 2018. We find the kinematic distance toNGC 6309 to be 4.1 kpc with an upper uncertainty of +0.29 kpc and a loweruncertainty of -0.38 kpc. We also calculate the distance to Cassiopeia A withthe two KDMs and compare to the value reported by Reed et al 1995. The Zhu etal. method and Wenger et al. method yield a value within thirty percent andtwenty percent of the Reed et al. method, respectively. The value reported byReed et al 1995 was contained within the error bounds produced by the Wenger etal. method. The distance measurement to Cassiopeia A suggests that both KDMs,while imperfect, are moderately accurate methods for determining the distanceto NGC objects in the plane of the Milky Way.
