Hi,
 

The link below is to Abell 21 (The Medusa Nebula). This is a planetary
nebula about 1500 light years away in the constellation Gemini. This is an
interesting PN due to the asymmetry in its composition. This could be
because it is a very old PN.  I chose this framing because the upper right
corner of the image contains open cluster NGC2395. Comments and suggestions
welcomed.
