    Owen I started with a basic search for bipolar planetary nebula

    I realize this is not complete. I started with the basic search and dug into each one deeper. I referred to NED and Simbad as well as other resources.
    I was trying to gather as much information to determine if I was able to observe them.
    Also some were found using a keyword search on DSF and other sites.

    Steve I stand corrected I counted 45. I must have missed the 46th one
