PNS MANUAL: Galactic PNe

Catalogue of suitable Galactic PNe (for focussing, efficiency and/or velocity references)

m5007 is calculated as follows:
m5007 = -2.5 * (log I5007 + log(Fbeta)) - 8.74 , where the values I5007 and log(Fbeta) are tabulated in the Strasbourg-ESO catalogue or in Wright, Corradi & Perinotto (2002) .

FPNS is the 5007 flux (e-/s) in each arm for an efficiency of 15%, i.e. disregarding filter bandpass
t in the final column is the recommended exposure time in seconds for the centre of the field, giving 10,000 e- with the named filter (measured results)
