Abell Planetary Nebulae and NGC numbers

Folks,

I am trying to locate a list of the 86 members of the Abell Planetary
Nebula catalog with associated NGC numbers. Any leads to such a list
would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Anthony.

Hi Anthony,

Your request piqued my interest. I initially thought that only one of
the Abell planetaries was in the NGC/IC catalogues: Abell 37 = IC 972.
But here's a link to a table posted by the British Astronomical
Association which reminded me that there are two mo

The Abell planetary nebulae were discovered by surveying POSS plates,
which didn't exist until the 1950's. It's not surprising that the vast
majority of them eluded the NGC and IC catalogues.

Good stuff! Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the clarification as to why not many of them are in either of
the two catalogs which now makes a lot of sense given your description.

I would like to start imaging these nebulas and would like to plan some
sort of presentation format and, hence, for my initial request.

Clear skies !

Anthony.

You're welcome. Also to use individual Abell identifiers in the Simbad
database at -

http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/sim-fid.pl

- enter the Abell number in either the 1955 or 1966 catalogues in the
format "PN Ann nn", e.g. -

To find Enter

NGC 6742 PN A55 39
PN G144.3-15.5 PN A66 4
