Abstract:
    Results for Zone 1 of the Edinburgh-Cape (EC) Blue Object Survey are
    presented. This zone covers that part of the North Galactic Cap more
    than ~30{deg} from the Galactic plane and south of about -12.3{deg}
    declination (although a few fields north of this declination are
    included). The zone effectively complements the Palomar-Green Survey
    in the North Galactic Cap, although the EC Survey should be more
    complete to a fainter limit (B=16.5mag) and to somewhat redder stars
    (U-B bluer than about -0.4). Zone 1 covers approximately 1560{deg}^2^
    and contains 675 blue objects far which we list equatorial coordinates
    accurate to ~1arcsec, UBV photoelectric photometry, and spectral types
    determined from moderate-dispersion (100{AA}/mm) spectrograms.
