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 01h05m11s -29d33'12"(1950). The covered ranges were
01h01m30s< RA < 01h09m30h and -30d20' < Dec < -28d35'(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
