DIRECT PHOTOGRAPHY OF A SAMPLE OF SOUTHERN PLANETARY NEBULAE NEAR THE GALACTIC PLANE

Images of a group of 52 emission-line objects located near the Galactic plane have been obtained using a broad-band V filter and two narrow-band filters centered at forbidden-line O III 5007 and H-alpha. The diameters measured in these plates have been compared with those reported earlier by other authors, and the differences found are discussed.
