Abstract:
    We present results from a continuing campaign to secure deep
    multi-colour CCD sequences for photoelectric calibration in UK Schmidt
    fields with galactic latitudes |b|>50{deg}. In this paper, we present
    UBVR photometry in 12 fields and BR photometry in a further 14 fields
    observed within UK Schmidt survey fields centered at {delta}=-30{deg}.
    Our observations were carried out with the 0.9m Telecope at the
    Cerro-Tololo Inter-American Observatory.

Note (1): 25 pixel aperture magnitudes give good estimates of total galaxy
           magnitude for galaxies with isophotal diameter less than 20".
Note (2): Generally, objects with b_10_-b_6_ < -0.2 will be galaxies,
           although this does vary somewhat from field to field, depending
           on the seeing in each observation.
