Description:
  This catalogue gives the seven-color photometry in the Vilnius system stars
  and two-dimensional classification of 752 stars. Photographically determined
  magnitudes obtained by COSMOS (MacGillivray and Stobie 1984) on the Schmidt 
  plates were input into software described by Smriglio et al. (1986) as a
  method of automated two-dimensional stellar classification in the Vilnius
  seven-color intermediate band photometric system (Straizys and Zdanavicius 
  1970). A region of approximately two square degrees in Lyra centered on RA 
  (1950) = 19 h 14.6 min, DE (1950) = 30 deg 05 arcmin in the direction of the
  globular cluster M56 was studied and the two-dimensional classification of 
  752 stars in the magnitude range V = 11 to 15 mag was studied. The photo-
  metric system, the method of reduction, the classification procedure and 
  errors were described by Smriglio et al. (1986). The number of stars for 
  which all the six color indices in the Vilnius system are available is close
  to 3000, but the number of stars which have received two dimensional classi-
  fication is 752. The success rate of classification appears to be high for 
  stars brighter than V = 15.0 mag for which photometric accuracy is better 
  than +-5%.
