Abstract

We report on an unprecedented source of Planetary Nebulae (PN) discovered from AAO/UKST Halpha survey images of the Southern Galactic Plane. A pristine region of PN discovery space is being sampled due to the excellent depth, coverage, resolution and uniformity of the Halpha survey. Large numbers of new PN are being found (similar to1000 so far). They are typically more evolved, obscurred and of lower surface brightness than in most other surveys. The doubling of known PN should have a significant impact on many aspects of PN research.
