Description:
    This is primarily a machine-readable version of the Dearborn
    Observatory (DO) Catalogue of Faint Red Stars (Lee et al. 1943, 1944,
    and 1947, Cat. <II/68>). It is a result of a survey of faint red stars
    conducted at that observatory from about the mid-1930s to about the
    mid-1940s. It contained originally for each star, a Dearborn number,
    1900 position, red magnitude, Dearborn spectral type and HD spectral
    type. In this version, the HD number has been added.
