The majority of planetary nebulae (PNe) at the distance of the Magellanic Clouds typically subtend 1 arcsec or less on the sky. The Planetary Camera onboard the Hubble Space Telescope has a scale of 0.044 arcsec per pixel and is therefore ideal to use to image these objects. At present, 16 LMC and 5 SMC objects have been imaged in the [O III] 5007 angstrom emission line, as part of this program. An additional 10 LMC and 5 SMC objects have been imaged in the same line under the Guaranteed Time Observer program.

We present results on the SMC from the first full season of the Michigan/CTIO Magellanic Cloud Emission-Line Survey, being carried out from CTIO. Images are being obtained in Hα, [S II] λλ 6717, 6731, and [O III] λ 5007, plus red and green continuum bands for star subtraction. Data from the 1996–97 season have been assembled into large mosaic images which reveal the rich variety of nebulosity in the SMC in unprecedented detail. These are providing definitive samples of the active, occasionally violent, ISM on scales including superbubbles, wind-blown bubbles, supernova remnants, H II regions, and planetary nebulae.

We have obtained Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Planetary Camera (PC) images of a number of Magellanic Cloud planetary nebulae. The objects, except for SMP 83 were observed as part of the Cycle I GO program. The observations were made in the [O III] λ5007Å line. The object SMP 83, was observed as part of the GTO program, and in this case observations were also made in the Hα line using the F650N filter. In order to characterise the point spread function, a star was placed at the same point on the chip as the PN. This allowed us to determine the diameters of barely resolved PN in an accurate manner, by convolving the PSF with a function until it matched the appearance of the PN image. The results are given in Table 1.

Kinematical studies of the Magellanic Clouds began more than half a century ago, when Wilson, in 1918, first interpreted the gradient of the 17 radial velocities of gazeous nebulae in the Large Cloud in terms of rotation. In the case of the Small Magellanic Cloud, the first real attempt to understand the velocity field of this galaxy was performed by the Radcliffe astronomers (Feast et al., 1960, 1961). Their study was based on radial velocities of 40 stars and 13 HII regions.With the installation by ESO of an objective-prisme astrograph in South Africa, in 1961, and then of several larger telescopes in Chile in 1968, the number of measurements significantly increased for Magellanic objects, in particular in the SMC. In this galaxy, the objective-prism observations resulted in about 100 stellar radial velocities (Florsch, 1972a) of probable members. A compilation by Maurice (1979) of all then known slit-spectrograph radial velocities gave velocities for 80 supergiants, 35 HII regions and 12 planetary nebulae.
