Description:
    File table2 contains coordinates (J2000) and B,V magnitudes and B-V
    colours with corresponding errors of 4450 stars in a 20'x20' region
    centered on the globular cluster M 71 (NGC 6838). The limiting
    magnitude of the catalogue is about V=18.0
    The observations were made in 1995 at Calar Alta Observatory.
