摘要：

CCD photometry has been obtained for 1054 galaxies to a limiting magnitude r(W) = 18.0 in a narrow strip of the sky 12' wide by 60-degrees long. The data are being used to calibrate photographic photometry as part of a parallel redshift survey, but can also be used to study the projected distribution of galaxies on large angular scales free from systematic effects that are present in photographic surveys. Fluctuations in the number density of order 20% are seen on angular scales of 5-degrees and apparently correlate with the distribution of Abell Clusters that lie within 2-degrees of the strip.
