Abstract:
    The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) has been detecting EUV sources
    since its launch in June 1992. Positions of 540 sources have been made
    available to the community by the EUVE team. We have extracted 7'x7'
    images centered on these 540 EUVE sources from the Space Telescope
    Science Institute digitized sky archives. We present these images as
    mosaic finder charts to aid observers trying to identify EUVE sources,
    or to characterize known sources.
