Description:
The catalogue contains 4174 stars in the Northern Milky Way, in the
range 32°<l<214°, -10°<b<+10°, having the H line in
emission.
The HBH list (main list, Schmidt camera Hamburg-Bergedorf, red plates
taken in the years 1964-70) contains 1979 objects partly identical
with those in other lists of H emission-line stars given in the
literature up till 1994.
Non-stellar objects (e.g. HII regions, planetary nebulae) have not
been included in this catalogue except for those objects containing
central stars which have the H line in emission, and also for some
doubtful cases.

Note (1):
The number if made from the page header (1 to 70) and a running
number on the page (1 to 60).
Note (2): colour system given in the literature:
(blank) = photoelectric in the V system,
B = photoelectric in the B system,
v = visual or photovisual,
p = photographic,
r = red or photored,
m = spectral region not known,
e = estimated on our Schmidt-camera plates (A10) according to
the classification of the spectra of HBH stars (see Section 2)
Note (3):
"V" following the magnitude means variable star; the given brightness
corresponds to that of the maximum. We confirmed the variability of
many stars and found several new variable stars.
Note (4):
The 6-digit number represents the Declination in degrees, followed
by the Right Ascension in hours and minutes, of the center;
for instance, 600000 means +60°, 00h00m POSS plate.
Note (5):
S (at the end, but not part of the designation) indicates an object
having a suspected Hα emission line or perhaps a non-stellar
object. There are two reasons for a designation as ``suspected'':
a) the contrast between the Hα emission line and the
continuum in the neighbourhood is small,
b) the object may not be a stellar one: e.g. the object is a
compact HII region, a knot of the large HII region or a
planetary nebula
Note (6):
Classification of the spectrum of HBH stars on the Schmidt camera
long-exposed (30 min) red plates.
* Hα emission line is (first character):
1 = very faint,
2 = faint,
3 = moderate,
4 = strong,
5 = overexposed;
* continuum is (second character):
"-" = invisible or very faint,
A = faint,
B = moderate,
C = strong,
D = overexposed,
* "-- " is found when no classification of the spectrum in the above
system possible, mainly because H emission line visible on
short-exposed (<30 min) plates only, or because of variability;
Note (7):
Existence of the finding chart in Part 2:
1 = one chart, 2 = two charts.
See the range of RA given on Plates.
