dc.descriptionWe present preliminary results of observations made, during the spring of 1996, with the 3-m liquid mirror telescope of the NASA Orbital Debris Observatory. A 20-arcmin-wide strip of sky was observed at latitude of 32deg56 N using 10 narrow-band filters. Although the detector and the optical corrector were not optimized for astronomical observations, valuable information could be extracted down to magnitude 19 in R. From these observations we are generating a catalog of positions and AB magnitudes of objects in the strip. In this present work, we show images, maps and counts representative of the dataset.
