ADC_Keywords: Colors ; Galactic pole, south ; Magnitudes, photographic Description: This catalog contains a field of 2.8 square degrees centered on Kapteyn Selected Area 141 (l=245, b=-86). The center of field was near SAO 166815 (Bok I 174 B) at 01 05 11 -29 33 12 (1950). The covered ranges were 01 01 30 < RA < 01 09 30 and -30 20 < Dec < -28 35 (1950). Photographic V magnitudes and B-V colors of 640 stars were measured in Region I. Data were card punched at the Australian National University on an Univac 1100/82. The coordinates were determined by Kavan U. Ratnatunga from PDS scans of the region on UKSTU Schmidt plate J6657S (taken on 03-Jan-1981) and visual cross identifications were given with the published finding chart. The coordinate calibration used the positions of SAO stars. Estimated rms accuracies for the following measurements are: Visual Magnitude: 0.03 mag B-V colors : 0.05 mag Positions : 1 arc second File Summary: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FileName Lrecl Records Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ReadMe 80 .
