NED object is AM 0300-230; Reference is 1987AMCAT.C...0000A
Each photograph in Volume II is identified by seven numbers on the edge of
the print (e.g. AM 1227-445). The first four figures are its right ascension
in hours and minutes of time, and are followed by the negative declination in
degrees, plus the minutes truncated after the first figure. By looking in
Volume I at the positions, which are ordered by right ascension, any object
illustrated can be further identified. There is a white bar, two arc minutes
long, in the south-east corner of each photograph. The sense of the printing
is as seen on the sky with north, west, south and east occuring in clock-wise
order.
