Scientific paper

We summarize the results of narrow-band (Hα and [\O 3] lambda 5007 Angstroms) imaging of eight planetary nebulae taken during recent observing campaigns: We present the probably largest known PN, MWP 1, with a linear diameter of about 6 pc. We show first narrow-band images of He 2-437, MeWe 1-5, MeWe 1-8, MeWe 1-9, NGC 1360, and of - like we term them - the ``Galactic footballs'' A 43 and NGC 7094. We report about a search for planetary nebulae around eleven extremely hot (pre-) white dwarfs which had not been successful. Based on observations obtained at the German-Spanish Astronomical Center, Calar Alto, operated by the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie Heidelberg jointly with the Spanish National Commission for Astronomy and at the European Southern Observatory, La Silla, Chile.
