So I guess that makes NGC 3195 indeed the southernmost confirmed PN...
yes that's right. According to STAR AtlasPRO ESO 011-001 is infact a Galaxy of BMag. 15.03 with a size of 0.49' x 0.36'. It also says this galaxy is also catalogued as

PGC221903
2MASXJ20353649-8302242
ESOLV0110010

If you like,I can query the STAR AtlasPRO database to find the southern most planetary that it knows about.
