Description
The now completed INT photometric H-alpha Survey (IPHAS) is a valuable resource to detect planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Northern Galactic Plane. An area of 1800 deg^2 of sky has been scanned and hundreds of new PN candidates have been discovered, from the direction of the crowded and dusty Galactic center to the less widely explored Galactic Anticenter area. The final goal is to provide a complete, surface-brightness limited census of PNe in the Galactic Plane. We present the survey and some preliminary results on PNe so far identified.
