Seven compact PNe with high radio surface brightness (and therefore presumably young) were observed with the HST WFPC2 under cycle 8 program 8307 (PI: S. Kwok). Observations were made with three narrow-band filters, F656N (Hα), F658N ([NII]) and F502N ([OIII]). The [NII] images of six of the nebulae are shown in Figure 1.
