Abstract:
A systematic search by microscope for non-stellar objects on POSSII R film copies
in a part of the northern galactic plane has led to the detection of about
3500 objects. The vast majority are obscured galaxies, most of which are new.
We present
coordinates and optical diameters of these galaxy candidates, list coincidences with
objects in optical and infrared catalogues and
discuss their distribution
along the galactic plane
.
Key words: catalogs -- (ISM): dust, extinction -- Galaxy: structure
