Abstract:
    Catalogs of V and I photometry for two 20 square degree regions near
    the South Galactic Pole, containing 30,000 and 19,000 stars, have been
    constructed using a CCD in time delay integration mode. Internal and
    external comparisons indicate a characteristic photometric accuracy
    ranging from 0.02mag at V~12 to 0.05 at V~18-18.5.

Description:
    The tables described below correspond to tables I-VII as mentioned in
    sections 5 and 6 of the printed paper.

      77  A1     ---     U      *[u] u = uncertainty because star is faint
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note on Code: A four-digit number gives from left to right:
  a first digit of 1 or 0 depending on whether or not the star was found
   to be a split star on any scan,
  a second digit for the number of V values,
  a third digit for the number of I values,
  and a last digit for the number of nearly simultaneous V and I values.
Note on S:
  A split star has at least some contributory data where another
  star was sufficiently close that the "split star" method of
  solution (Schechter et al, 1993PASP..105.1342S) was invoked.
Note on U:
  A "u" appears for stars so faint that the nonlinearity correction
  (Section 4 of the printed paper) was excessively uncertain.  These
  were excluded from all use and are thus not included in the totals
  given in Table 2 of the printed paper.
