Abstract
ABSTRACTFive plates from the Sandage two‐color survey of the Galactic plane have been examined, yielding 161 UV‐bright sources and one potential new planetary nebula. The plates were obtained using the Palomar 48 inch (1.2 m) Oschin Schmidt telescope, and each covers a field of view of 43 deg2. The plates were centered at the Galactic longitude (l) and latitude (b) coordinates (13.°1, +0°), (104.°1, +0°), (128°, +0°), (179°, +0°), and (179°, −6°). Identified sources range in U−B color from U−B∼ - 0.1 to ∼−1.2, and in magnitude from mB∼9.3 to ∼20. Finding charts and accurate J2000.0 coordinates are provided for all the UV candidates. Proper motions from the USNO‐B survey have also been included for sources with catalog values greater than 10 mas yr−1. The more interesting sources are discussed, and previously identified objects are noted.
