The cooperation between astronomers and amateurs offers innovation potential for research, in which ideas and impulses can flow into research and lead to new perspectives and questions. In this context, I have initiated a citizen science project and also I am involved in an international project, to identify as yet unknown planetary nebulae.

Since 2023, we have discovered 14 new, previously unknown planetary nebulae, as well as other Young Stellar Objects, some with a bipolar structure. These are very probably Herbig-Haro Objects. Further data still needs to be collected on some objects. Some of these objects have been registered in HASH PN database (Hong Kong University/Australian Astronomical Observatory/Strasbourg Observatory H-alpha Planetary Nebula Database). There is also an interaction with the Karl Schwarzschild Observatory in Tautenburg near Jena, Thuringia, and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, Heidelberg.

The new objects are a visual and photographic challenge for amateur astronomers. The sizes of compact nebulae vary between 10 and 30 arcseconds. The brightest candidates can be observed visually from 14", photographically from 8 inches aperture.

Therefore, I am looking for partner and supporters with access to independent, non-profit research institutions with observatories to identify the PNe more clearly so that their origin can be researched more precisely. Ideas and impulses for research may be created.
