Abstract

HST images of 5 Planetary nebulae showing small scale structures have been retrieved from the archives. For two PNe, NTT images were also available, and a double channel deconvolution technique applied to combine them to the HST images. A very precise flux calibration was performed on the HST images. Bow shocks and ionization effects are likely detected.
