Description:
The Cambridge Low Frequency Synthesis Telescope has been used to
survey a region ∼7x7deg2 about the North Ecliptic Cap at 151MHz with
a resolution of 70x77arcsec2. The resulting radio source catalogue
of 400 sources is complete to a peak flux density limit of
120mJy/beam. Using the Cambridge APM we have searched for
identifications on the Palomar Sky Survey plate 550 which covers much
of the survey area, and we list the 157 sources with one or more
optical objects within 15arcsec of the radio position.
