Extract

The MC2 and MC3 catalogues cover two strips approximately 2° wide centred on declinations +11° and +16.5°. MC2 runs from 11h 28m to 01h 23m and MC3 from 13h 31m to 04h 11m (Sutton et al. 1974). Optical identifications up to 17h 00m have been’published (Hazard and Murdoch 1977) and identifications for the remainder exist in preliminary form (Hazard, Zotov and Murdoch, in preparation). Optical spectra are being obtained chiefly at Lick Observatory (Smith et al. 1977) and this programme is now approaching completion.
