NGC 2366 is an irregular barred dwarf galaxy located 11 million light-years away in the constellation Giraffe. It is a peripheral member of the M81 Group.
In the past, there has been confusion about the various components of NGC 2366 and its neighbouring galaxy NGC 2363. At the southern end of NGC 2366 is the large, bright HII region known as Markarian 71 (Mrk 71). To the west of Mrk 71 is the other dwarf galaxy NGC 2363, which interacts with NGC 2366.
Within the region known as Mrk 71 are two super star clusters (SSCs) named “A” and “B” or “Knot A” and “Knot B”.
