Description:
    We present a catalog of blue and red stars in M33 based on
    photographic photometry of over 65,000 objects extracted from plates
    taken with the 3.6m Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) and the 2.0m
    Rozhen (Bulgarian) Telescope. The completeness limit of the various
    surveys are estimated here to be V=19.5mag for those stars situated in
    crowed associations, and V=20.0mag for stars in the interarm fields.
    We list magnitudes and positions for 2112 blue stars, defined by
    (U-V)<0.0mag, and V<19.5mag, and 389 red stars defined by (B-V)>1.8mag
    and V<19.5mag. Of these, 1156 are candidate O stars on the basis of
    (U-V)<-0.9mag.
