Description
The Isaac Newton Telescope H-alpha survey (IPHAS) of the northern galactic plane is near completion. The photometric (H-alpha, R, I) catalogue and the mosaic images database have been searched for new Planetary Nebulae. We present the results for the RA=18 to 20 hr region, the first analyzed so far. More than 250 PNe candidates are discovered, tripling the number of known PNe in that area.
