We present a photometric analysis of the properties of asymptotic giant branch stars identified in the INT Photometric H-alpha Survey (IPHAS) of the northern Galactic plane. Follow-up spectroscopy has revealed that the IPHAS (r - Ha) colour is a valuable diagnostic of the photospheric C/O ratio, and may be used to identify hundreds of carbon and S-type stars.
