Description:
    We present a compilation of radial velocities for 867 galactic
    planetary nebulae (Table 2.ps [postscript format] and Table2.dat
    [ascii format]).

Note on table2.ps: the PS version includes also high-, medium- and
  low-resolution velocities, SECAT (V/84) and recent literature data.

   1- 15  A15   ---     Name     Usual name of PN
  18- 28  A11   ---     PNG      Name (from Galactic position) (1)
  30- 38  A9    ---     PK       PK number
  41- 46  F6.1  km/s    HRV      Adopted heliocentric radial velocity (2)
  49- 52  F4.1  km/s    e_HRV    Adopted velocity uncertainty (2)

Note (1): SB 44 and SB 45 having the same PN G number,
          SB 44 = PN G356.0-7.4A, SB 45 = PN G356.0-7.4B
Note (2): Final data are calculated by a weighted average (see the article for
           more explanations)


History:
  * 09-Oct-1998: First version which included a few errors in PN
      cross-identifications.
  * 23-Oct-1998: Problems in cross-identifications fixed.
  * 30-May-2005: table slightly reformatted: the PNG number was
      substituted to the galactic longitude and latitude.
