Abstract

The INT photometric H-alpha Survey (IPHAS; http://www.iphas.org) is now near completion. A band of 10 degrees along the Northern Galactic Plane is being imaged in Hα, r' and i' filters with typically 1 arcsec resolution and a completeness limit better than r'=20 mag. IPHAS is filling in the currently existing gap in the Planetary Nebulae (PNe) population of the Plane: we are on course to tripling the number of PNe known in the northern plane. Many hundreds of candidate PNe, both small diameter (<10 arcsec) and extended, have been identified; some are located in areas of particular interest as the Anticenter region. A preliminary analysis of the region from RA=18 to 20^h, where the observations are already complete, is presented.
