Finder charts of all targets -- Listed by Right Ascension or Alphabetical order.

This catalog and the following MEMORANDUM were obtained from the original 1979 publication by K. M. Strom -- an online version of which is available here: IIDS Standard Star Manual (7.5 MB PDF-file). All is relavent for this listing of the catalog except for the digital finder charts mentioned above. Instead of using the blue POSS plates, that are featured in the original catalog and are not available in digital form, the POSS2/UKSTU Blue database was used as it containes images for all fields listed. These finder charts were obtained via the The STScI Digitized Sky Survey web site, using The SIMBAD astronomical database to retrieve the images.
