Description:
    The catalogue contains 4174 stars in the Northern Milky Way, in the
    range 32°<l<214°, -10°<b<+10°, having the H line in
    emission.

    The HBH list (main list, Schmidt camera Hamburg-Bergedorf, red plates
    taken in the years 1964-70) contains 1979 objects partly identical
    with those in other lists of H emission-line stars given in the
    literature up till 1994.

    Non-stellar objects (e.g. HII regions, planetary nebulae) have not
    been included in this catalogue except for those objects containing
    central stars which have the H line in emission, and also for some
    doubtful cases.

Note on ID:
     The number if made from the page header (1 to 70) and a running
     number on the page (1 to 60).
Note on n_Vmag:
   colour system given in the literature:
     (blank) photoelectric in the V system,
          B  photoelectric in the B system,
          v  visual or photovisual,
          p  photographic,
          r  red or photored,
          m  spectral region not known,
          e  estimated on our Schmidt-camera plates (A10) according to
             the classification of the spectra of HBH stars (see Section 2)
Note on Vmag, u_Vmag:
    V following the magnitude means variable star; the given brightness
      corresponds to that of the maximum. We confirmed the variability of
      many stars and found several new variable stars.
Note on POSS:
    The 6-digit number represents the Declination in degrees, followed
    by the Right Ascension in hours and minutes, of the center;
    for instance, 600000 means +60°, 00h00m POSS plate.
Note on HBH:
    S (at the end, but not part of the designation) indicates an object
      having a suspected H{alpha} emission line or perhaps a non-stellar
      object. There are two reasons for a designation as ``suspected'':
      a) the contrast between the H{alpha} emission line and the
         continuum in the neighbourhood is small,
      b) the object may not be a stellar one: e.g. the object is a
         compact HII region, a knot of the large HII region or a
         planetary nebula
Note on SC:
    Classification of the spectrum of HBH stars on the Schmidt camera
    long-exposed (30 min) red plates.
    -> H{alpha} emission line is (first character):
       1 = very faint,
       2 = faint,
       3 = moderate,
       4 = strong,
       5 = overexposed;
    -> continuum is (second character):
       - = invisible or very faint,
       A = faint,
       B = moderate,
       C = strong,
       D = overexposed,
    -- is found when no classification of the spectrum in the above
       system possible,  mainly because  H emission line visible  on
       short-exposed (<30 min) plates only, or because of variability;
Note on FC:
    Existence of the finding chart in Part 2:
    1 = one chart,  2 = two charts.
    See the range of RA given on Plates.
