Absolute emission line imaging photometry is often made difficult by the absence of good flux standards. Even bright PN often show as much as 25between different authors, reflecting the varying techniques of observation. In order to correct this situation, we have made slitless absolute spectrophotometric observations at high dispersion of compact (!5 arc sec. diameter) PN drawn from the Acker al. (1992) Catalogue. The complete results will appear in the Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series in early 1997. This paper gives absolute Hα, Hβ line fluxes, equivalent widths, accurate radial velocities, and relative fluxes of a number of other emission lines for some 50 PN in the southern sky between 7hr and 17hr in R.A.
