We present a study of the PNe systems of two nearby galaxies: the spirals M 33 and M 81. The luminosity functions (PNLFs) for the two PNe systems were built and the distances to both galaxies were given (0.84 ± 0.09 Mpc to M 33 and 3.84 ± 0.41 Mpc to M 81). The behavior of PNe excitation was examined across both galaxies, finding no evidence for substantial differences in excitation between bulge and disk PNe, nor for variations along the galaxian disks.
