Abstract

We have visually examined 12 Palomar red plates for galaxies at low Galactic latitude b, where the Supergalactic Plane (SGP) is crossed by the Galactic Plane (GP), at Galactic longitude l~135 deg. The catalogue consists of 2575 galaxy candidates, of which 462 have major axis diameter d>=0.8 arcmin (uncorrected for extinction). Galaxy candidates can be identified down to --b--~=0 deg. One of our galaxy candidates (J24=Dwingeloo 1) has recently been discovered independently at 21 cm by Kraan-Korteweg et al. as a nearby galaxy. Comparisons with the structures seen in the IRAS and UGC catalogues are made. We compare the success rate of identifying galaxies using the IRAS Point Source Catalogue under different colour selection criteria. The criteria that require both the 60- and 100-μm fluxes to be of high quality have the highest probability of selecting a galaxy (with d>=0.6 arcmin), but at the expense of selecting a smaller number of galaxies in total.
