The AAO/UKST Galactic Plane H
Survey promises to substantially
increase our knowledge of optical supernova remnants and their properties.
Complementary work in the optical and radio will allow us to fully exploit
any discoveries made.

images centered on
ESO/SERC Sky Survey fields 95, 96, 131 and 132. Note the presence of the Southern Cross in
the upper-right (north-west) portion of the image.
