MASH Catalog of Planetary Nebulae

A new catalogue for those with large telescopes looking for a challenge.

MASH Catalog of Planetary Nebulae (Parker+ 2006) http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/Cat?V/127
http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/vizier/MASH/gallery.htx has images of the PNe.

The Macquarie/AAO/Strasbourg Hα Planetary Nebula Catalogue (MASH)
contains 905 new true, likely and possible Galactic Planetary Nebulae
(PNe) discovered from the AAO/UKST Hα survey of the southern
Galactic plane. The combination of depth, resolution, uniformity, and
areal coverage of the Hα survey has opened up an hitherto
unexplored region of parameter space permitting the detection of this
significant new PN sample.

The attached tab delimited file lists 45 "bright" MASH PNe.
Diameters are in arc secs.
