The survey is presented in two sets of maps, i.e., in equatorial and
galactic coordinates. In equatorial coordinates (Epoch 1950) the survey
consists of 4 maps (Fig. 1), each covering
and 6 hours in right
ascension. In addition to a grid of equatorial coordinates, a
grid of galactic coordinates is superposed in each map. In galactic
coordinates the survey is shown in 3 maps (Fig. 2).
A grid of equatorial coordinates (Epoch 1950) is superposed on the maps.
Contour lines correspond to brightness temperature.
The contour lines are drawn in 250
K steps up to 6000 K, labelled every 1500 K; from 6000 K
to 10000 K in 400 K steps, labelled every 2000 K; from 10000 K to 20000 K
in 1000 K steps, labelled every 10000 K; from 20000 K to 66000 K in 2000 K steps,
labelled every 20000 K. Arrows on contour lines point towards
decreasing temperature. Figure 3 represents the survey in equal-area projection
of galactic coordinates. Figure 4 shows a colour coded map of the whole survey
in an Aitoff projection of galactic coordinates.
