Description
We are currently undertaking a systematic search of new Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) in the IPHAS (INT Photometric H-Alpha Survey) data. We employ two methods to search for PNe of different sizes: a visual search through continuum subtracted H-Alpha mosaics for extended PNe and a (point) source catalog based search for small diameter PNe. Here we present the methodology and first results of the small diameter PNe search.
