Abstract:
Long exposures of the complexes of ionized hydrogen in both the LMC
and SMC have been taken with the 48-in. SRC Schmidt camera through an
Hα+[N II] interference filter to 100Å bandwidth. These plates
and identifying charts are presented here in a form in which little
information is lost. A catalog of many individual emission regions in
both these galaxies is also compiled.

Note (1): Henize number, (1956ApJS....2..315H 1956ApJS....2..315H),
LHA 120-N NNNA for LMC, LHA 115-N NNNA for SMC in Simbad
Note (2): Intensity flags:
very faint (vf) through faint (f),
fairly bright (fb),
bright (vf) to very bright (vf)
Note (3): Comparison between these nebulosities and sources on the
radio surveys at 6cm of McGee et al. (1972AuJPh..25..613M 1972AuJPh..25..613M) and at 11
cm of Broten (1972AuJPh..25..599B 1972AuJPh..25..599B).
The radio spectral indices, defined by S∝να, are
from McGee & Newton (1972AuJPh..25..619M 1972AuJPh..25..619M)
