5 Finding charts

Our goal has been to present finding charts (Figs. 2-12) as uniform as possible for the greatest number of objects. Except for 30 Doradus (Fig. 12) and the enlargements of the compact clusters, the charts have a 3 $\times$ 3 arcmin field. They are all oriented with north at the top and east to the left.

The Digital Sky Survey (DSS) was used for 70% of the stars. The charts corresponding to the MG stars (Morgan & Good 1985; Morgan 1999); BAT99-20, 23, 25, 81, 121, and to BAT99-129, were made from SuperCOSMOS scans of UKST plates kindly made available to us by D.H. Morgan.

For stars located in crowded regions we had to resort to other sources. CCD frames obtained at La Silla were used for BAT99-31, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 120, 125, 126, 127 (3.6 m telescope + EFOSC1, U filter), BAT99-42 (3.6 m telescope + EFOSC1, HeII filter), BAT99-88, 89, 91 (3.6 m telescope + EFOSC1, V filter); and for BAT99-28, 83, 124 (2.2 m telescope + EFOSC2, HeII filter). The 30 Doradus image was provided by G. Meylan, it corresponds to a 3 s V CCD exposure obtained in 0.5 arcsec seeing, with the 2.2 m telescope at La Silla (Meylan 1993).

For BAT99-10, 68, 69, 77, 78, 80, 91, 106, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, the high-resolution images were retrieved from the HST archive.
