A two-color photographic atlas of the Southern Sky from declination -90° to -20° made up of 606 fields at 5° centers. Each copy of the atlas will consist of 606 prints from blue sentitive plates (IIIa-J) taken with the SRC 48-inch Schmidt relescope at Siding Spring, Australia, and 606 from red sensitive plates (the ESO(R)) (IIIA-F + RG630) taken with the ESO 1m Schmidt telescope on La Silla, Chile.

The "J" in the title refers to the Eastman-Kodak type IIIaJ emulson being used for this Survey. Field number refers to the standard field for the ESO/SRC Southern Sky Survey; 606 fields cover the southern sky from the South Pole (-90°) up to 17° (-20° plate sentres) in bands of declination separated by 5°. Field centres refers to epoch 1950.0. Date refers to Austrian calender date of the observation
