Description:
This catalog is survey of OB stars in the Southern Milky Way done as part
of work performed from 1961-963 at the Uppsala Southern Station at Mount
Stromlo. Objective prism plates from a 50/65cm Schmidt telescope were
searched for faint OB stars between galactic longitudes lII=310 degrees and
lII=334 degrees, resulting in a catalog of 483 objects. The data file
contains a running number, CD, CPD, HD numbers, RA and Dec (1950.0),
magnitude from CD or CPD, ptm magnitude and spectral class from HD.

Note on CPDzone,CPDnum,CDzone,CDnum:
Follows convention of AD catalog, i.e. for stars whose declination in 1875
was north of -52 degrees, the CD was used. For stars south of this limit
the CPD was used. If a star was not found in the appropriate catalog, but
was present in the other, the number from the other was used. A total of
55 stars were not present in either catalog. Their coordinates were
estimated from the direct plates taken with the Uppsala Schmidt telescope,
using plots of CD or CPD stars to an accuracy of about 1 arcminute.
