Details on Acronym:   BPS
  
BPS (Beers+Preston+Shectman)= (BS) = (CS) = (CTCS)
Write:<<BPS BS FFFFF-NNNN>>
<<BPS CS FFFFF-NNNN>>
Object:*  (SIMBAD class: Star)
Note:In the format 'BS' stands for Burrell Schmidt telescope (hemisphere Nord), and 'CS' for Curtis Schmidt telescope (hemisphere South).
The fields 'FFFFF' (always 5 digits fields) are those of the BS and CS telescopes, respectively at the Kitt Peak and Cerro Tololo observatories.
