Using the data from the catalogue of PNe images of Schwarz et al. (1992), we have classified 255 nebulae into 5 morphological groups. The images were taken through a filter centred on the Hα line and included the [NII]6583 line. Most of the observations were made with the 3.5m ESO NTT during commissioning time. The main groups are called: stellar (st), irregular (i), elliptical (e), bipolar (b), and point-symmetric (p). The ellipticals are subdivided into: simple (e), multiple event (em), and
