Abstract:
   UV (195 nm) and Stroemgren uvby photometry of a 110 square degree field at 
   high southern galactic latitudes are analyzed through a comparison of i) 
   UV magnitudes for 57 stars of various types common to the published TD1 
   catalogue and the Very Wide Field Camera (VWFC); and ii) observed and 
   theoretical two-colour diagrams. The higher sensitivity of the VWFC 
   (=~0.5magnitude) and its more complete survey are exemplified by the 
   detection and UV measurement of a series of objects with moderate UV-excess
   in addition to detection of some very blue objects of various nature down 
   to fainter than 12th magnitude in the optical domain. A deeper survey with 
   a VWFC-type instrument could provide a complete sample for studies of the 
   group properties of faint blue stars. During the uvby reductions it was 
   found that the usual procedure of plotting residuals as functions of 
   declination, hour angle and airmass can be a powerful and diagnostic test 
   of photometer rigidity.

Note (1): Single-star internal errors are reported for those stars for which any
           Stroemgren index exceeds 2.5 times the appropriate mean uncertainty
           reported in Table II
Note (2): The error given to m_195_ magnitudes is twice the one derived by the
           CAPELLA software, see Viton et al (1991)
Note (3): a uncertain error bar
