Finding charts from the Digital Sky Survey are obtained by clicking on the star names. These have North up and East left, are centred on the star, and the field size is 6.5 arc minutes (ALFOSC field without(!) calcite plate in the beam). The column called angle refers to the equatorial position angle, which is measured from north and eastwards.
