ADC_Keywords: Planetary nebulae ; Abundances, peculiar Keywords: ISM: planetary nebulae: general - Galactic disk - ISM: abundances Abstract: In this paper, we report new observations and derive chemical abundances for a sample of 26 planetary nebulae (PN) located in the anti-center direction. Most of these nebulae are far away objects, located at galactocentric distances greater than about 8kpc, so that they are particularly useful for the determination of the radial gradients at large distances from the galactic center. Description: The observations were carried out at two different observatories: at ESO/La Silla, and at LNA/Brazil. At ESO we used the 1.52m telescope and the Boller & Chivens Cassegrain spectrograph, in two observational runs: Dec./1999 and Dec./2000. at LNA, in Dec./1995, we used the 1.60 m telescope, a Boller & Chivens Cassegrain spectrograph and a combination grating+CCD. Table 1 gives the logbook of the observations and also the adopted distances d (kpc) to the Sun and galactocentric distances R (kpc).
