Individual distances to planetary nebulae (PN) which are independent of any assumption of average nebular characteristics, can be found if one knows the relation between interstellar extinction (E(B-V)) and distance along the line-of-sight to the PN, together with the E(B-V) towards the PN itself (Lutz, 1973 and Acker, 1978). We used VBLUW-photometry (Lub and Pel, 1977) to derive accurate E(B-V)'s and distances of stars up to V-magnitude + 14, within 0°.3 from the PN. Table 1 lists the PN we studied. The E(B-V)'s of the PN are derived from:
