Description:
    Photographic astrometric and photometric catalogue.
    Table 6 contains (x,y) positions, (mu_x, mu_y) relative proper motions
    and BVR photographic photometry.
    Notes give cross-identifications with other catalogues.
    Table 11 contains equatorial positions (alpha, delta) and absolute
    proper motions (mu_alpha cos delta, mu_delta) in FK5 and ICRS
    reference systems.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): Coordinates xpos and ypos include the {xi} and {eta} parameters
           (Eqs. 6 and 7) for stars with computed proper motions. The error of
           xpos and ypos coordinates are that of {xi} and {eta} parameters for
           stars with proper motions computed from more than three plates.
           An error of 99.99 microns is quoted for stars without proper motion,
           or with proper motion computed fom only two plates.
Note (2): Proper motions of 99.99 mas/yr are quoted for stars without proper
           motion available. Proper motion errors of 99.99 mas/yr are assigned
           to stars without proper motion, or with proper motion computed from
           only two plates.
Note (3): Stars having B and R values, but lacking V photometry, are assigned
          Vmag=99.99 mag. Stars lacking standard photographic photometry are
          assigned Bmag=99.99 mag, Vmag=99.99 mag and, if available, the R value
          from the master plate raw photometric photometry for cross-
          identifications (Sect. 3.3) is given as the best estimation of R
          magnitude. Bright stars lacking photometry due to saturation are
          assigned Bmag=Vmag=Rmag=0.00 mag.
          For the photometric errors, see Table 4 and Fig. 2.
