Description:
    Figure 9: Finding charts for the objects where spectra were taken,
    based on the APM data base. The cross is centered at the X-ray
    position. 30 arcsec radius error circles are shown and arrows mark the
    objects with the available spectra. North is up and East to the left
    in all charts.
    Figure 10: Deep CCD images of the X-ray source fields with faint
    optical counterparts. Circles with 30 arcsec radius are centered on
    the X-ray position. Capital letters identify the brightest object next
    to them (see Table 3 for remarks on identification). The filter used
    and the exposure time are shown above each image in brackets.
