Descripción
The INT photometric H-alpha Survey (IPHAS; http://www.iphas.org) is now
near completion. A band of 10 degrees along the Northern Galactic Plane
is being imaged in Hα, r' and i' filters with typically 1 arcsec
resolution and a completeness limit better than r'=20 mag. IPHAS is
filling in the currently existing gap in the Planetary Nebulae (PNe)
population of the Plane: we are on course to tripling the number of PNe
known in the northern plane. Many hundreds of candidate PNe, both small
diameter (<10 arcsec) and extended, have been identified; some are
located in areas of particular interest as the Anticenter region. A
preliminary analysis of the region from RA=18 to 20^h, where the
observations are already complete, is presented.
