PN to try for medium scopes in the evening

Hi all

Used to be more of a "glob" man, but since getting the new scope I have managed to see quite a list of PN in a short space of time. All of these have been observed with a 9.25" scope in the backyard in town (Canberra) over the past couple of weeks. Give them ago! Some of the little known ones were surprisingly good...

NGC 6302 (Bugbear)
NGC 2867
NGC 3132 (Eight burst)
NGC 3242 (ghost of jupiter)
NGC 4361
NGC 3699
NGC 3918 (try blinking as you observe it for a great blue effect!)
IC 4406
NGC 5882
NGC 6072
NGC 6153
NGC 5979 (harder)
NGC 5189

Have fun!!!!
