A goal of the IPHAS survey is to determine the frequency and nature of emission-line sources in the Galactic plane. According to our selection criteria, K 3–22 is a candidate symbiotic star, but it was previously classified as a planetary nebula. To determine its nature, we acquired a low-resolution optical spectrum of K 3–22. Our analysis of our spectroscopy demonstrates that K 3–22 is indeed a D-type symbiotic star, because of its high excitation nebular spectrum and the simultaneous presence of Raman-scattered O vi emission at 6825 Å and 7082 Å, which is detected primarily in symbiotic stars.
Key words: binaries: symbiotic / planetary nebulae: general
