Description:
The atlas contains data digitized from the Palomar Observatory Sky
Survey glass plates for 43 cold, dense molecular clouds. Regardless of
the clouds' extent, the digitized area is limited to a 22x22 arcmin on
the sky with pixel size of 1.3 arcsec. Central coordinates (B1950.0)
for each cloud are given. The data and requisite header information
for each digitized molecular cloud are formatted in accordance with
the Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) standard.

Historical Notes:
The file "list" was created from the headers of the FITS files. An
error in the declination of the image f28 (B133-NH3) was discovered,
and the header was corrected.
