The Edinburgh-Cape Blue Object Survey - II. Zone 1 - the North Galactic CAP

Results for Zone 1 of the Edinburgh-Cape (EC) Blue Object Survey are presented. This zone covers that part of the North Galactic Cap more than ~30 deg from the Galactic plane and south of about -12^ deg_.3 declination (although a few fields north of this declination are included). The zone effectively complements the Palomar-Green Survey in the North Galactic Cap, although the EC Survey should be more complete to a fainter limit (B=16.5 mag) and to somewhat redder stars (U-B bluer than about -0.4). Zone 1 covers approximately 1560 deg^2 and contains 675 blue objects for which we list equatorial coordinates accurate to ~1 arcsec, UBV photoelectric photometry, and spectral types determined from moderate-dispersion (100 A mm^-1) spectrograms.
