Henden, USNO (stars 6-16). The last column contains star identifications by B. Sumner, which sequence is available from ftp://ftp.nofs.navy.mil/pub/outgoing/aah/sequence/sumner/bzuma.seq The brightest star (1 = HIP 43485) is double (Struve 1275, sep. 2".0), combined magnitude is given. Star 8 (GSC 3811-1354) appears to be somewhat variable and should only be used with care. ***** Charts **** The following charts, from 1999 March, are avaialble: Field 45' and limiting magnitude ~14.5 at http://www.astro.uio.no/~bgranslo/variable/charts/BZ_UMa_045.gif Field 15' and limiting magnitude ~16.5 at http://www.astro.uio.no/~bgranslo/variable/charts/BZ_UMa_015.gif Yours sincerely, Bjorn H.
