2. The observational material

Six northern planetary nebulae were observed with a Tektronic CCD installed at the f/6 focus of the 120-cm telescope of the Haute Provence Observatory: it offers a total field of view of tex2html_wrap_inline1128 square arcsec (tex2html_wrap_inline1130 pixel-size or 0.77 arcsec tex2html_wrap_inline1132). The southern object, NGC 6302, was observed with the McLellan 1-m telescope (f/7.8) at Mt John, New Zealand, using a Thomson TH7882 CDA-chip (tex2html_wrap_inline1134 square pixels, 0.61 arcsec tex2html_wrap_inline1132) covering a total field of view of tex2html_wrap_inline1138 square arcsec.

The interference filters used in our study have bandwidths tex2html_wrap_inline1140, with typical transmission of about 60%. In some cases, however, 44 Å-wide tex2html_wrap_inline1126, [OIII]5007 Å and 39 Å-wide [SII]6737 Å filters were used. The filters were mounted in front of the detectors in the direct imaging mode. The image quality was about 1tex2html_wrap_inline1144 5 - 2'' during the observations.

The line intensity values (normalized to tex2html_wrap_inline1170) are from Acker 1993's tables when available. (**) Data from Manchado & Pottasch 1989; indices (c) and (h) being related to the centre and the halo nebula respectively. tex2html_wrap_inline1172 are optical extinction values at tex2html_wrap_inline1174 from CKS92 (their tex2html_wrap_inline1176 column) and IRAS data from the IRAS catalogue. NGC 6302 was observed at the MJUO McLellan 1-m telescope.
