Williamina Fleming

Williamina Fleming found 11 IC planetary nebulae south of declination -25.
She discovered them on photographic plates taken at Arequipa with an 8" refractor and a prism between 1893 and 1907.

Fleming also found four IC nebulae in the LMC.

The attached file shows all of the 16 IC PN south of dec -25.
The last object in the list, IC 5148-50, was found by Walter Gale from Sydney in 1894 using an 8.5" refractor.

Four methods were used to find these PN - visual (v), photographic (p) and vs or ps if a prism's spectrum was observed.
