PN in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC)

- Deutsche Version?

In 1978 the three astronomers Sanduleak, MacConnell and Davis (SMP) published a list of PN in the LMC and SMC (1978PASP...90..621S) - 28 objects within the SMC, 26 of them were listed as PN.

Most of the PN are visible in medium sized telescopes. To identify the PN a UHC filter (filter blink) is very helpful. All PN remain stellar. The brightest object is the PN SMP-SMC 17. The listed fluxes are not very accurate and did not fit with the visual impression.
