Description:
    This catalog contains a field of 2.8 square degrees centered on
    Kapteyn Selected Area 141 (l=245, b=-86). The center of field was near
    SAO 166815 (Bok I 174 B) at 01 05 11 -29 33 12 (1950). The covered
    ranges were 01 01 30 < RA < 01 09 30 and -30 20 < Dec < -28 35 (1950).
    Photographic V magnitudes and B-V colors of 640 stars were measured in
    Region I. Data were card punched at the Australian National University
    on an Univac 1100/82. The coordinates were determined by Kavan U.
    Ratnatunga from PDS scans of the region on UKSTU Schmidt plate J6657S
    (taken on 03-Jan-1981) and visual cross identifications were given
    with the published finding chart. The coordinate calibration used the
    positions of SAO stars. Estimated rms accuracies for the following
    measurements are:
        Visual Magnitude: 0.03 mag
        B-V colors      : 0.05 mag
        Positions       : 1    arc second
