NGC 2371 and 2372 Planetary Nebula in Gemini

Object Type: Planetary Nebula

Location: Tarragona – Spain

Two NGC numbers, but only one object. NGC2371/NGC2372 correspond to a bipolar planetary nebula. Easy and awesome observed from a dark skies with a good telescope aperture. A lobe is more brilliant than the other, but both are perfectly visibles. I think it could be an affordable object for medium telescope aperture as well.
