The US Naval Observatory has commissioned a short exposure plate for each field in the Palomar Sky Survey II. These plates should provide the necessary intermediate reference frame for the determination of right ascension and declination for faint objects on the “deep” plates using catalog coordinates for bright stars measured on the “short” plate.
