VizieR Online Data Catalog: Bonner Durchmusterung (Argelander 1859-1903)

The Bonner Durchmusterung (BD, Argelander 1859-62, Kuestner 1903, Becker 1951, Schmidt 1968) is a visual survey of stars in the declination zones +89 to -01 degrees. The goal of the survey was to obtain a position and estimated visual magnitude for every star visible with the 78-mm Bonn telescope. Actual magnitude estimates were made and reported to 0.1 mag for all stars down to 9.5 mag, with fainter stars being assigned to 9.5. Positions are given to the nearest 0.1 sec in right ascension and 0.1 arcmin in declination.
