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.

Note (1):
BCG position is 21:53:36.8, +17:41:43.8 (J2000)
Note (2):
Zero point corrected by bootstrapping to CNOC photometry
(=1996ApJ...471..694A)
Note (3):
Flux and equivalent width only correspond to Halpha for
galaxies with redshifts between 0.2033 and 0.2563.
