Description: 
   Photometry is tabulated for 1189 galaxies in 19 OSIS-V (CFHT) images in 
   the direction of the galaxy cluster Abell 2390.  The images cover 270 sq. 
   deg., and extend out to the virial radius of the cluster.  Three narrow 
   filters are used to determine the flux above the continuum between
   wavelengths 7897 A and 8245 A, corresponding to H-alpha at 0.2033<z<0.2563. 
   The absolute flux values are uncertain by about 30% due to zero point 
   uncertainty; we also tabulate the equivalent width which is independent of 
   this zero point.  Only strong emission line cluster members (equivalent 
   width greater than about 50 A) are detectable, by design.  Galaxies with 
   spectra available from the CNOC survey (Abraham=1996ApJ...471..694A) are 
   identified.
