Scientific paper

This is CMC12 (Version 1.0), an astrometric and photometric catalogue of 6.3 million stars in the red magnitude range 9 to 17.
The Carlsberg Meridian Telescope (CMT) underwent a major upgrade in March 1999. A 2k by 2k CCD camera was installed with a Sloan r' filter operating in a drift scan mode. With the new system, the magnitude limit is r'CMT=17 and the positional accuracy is about 0.035".
The main task of the CMT is to map the sky in the declination range -3° to +30° with the aim of providing an astrometric, and photometric, catalogue that can accurately transfer the Hipparcos/Tycho reference frame to Schmidt plates.
The current release (Version 1.0) comprises all the observations made between March 1999 and March 2002 with the new CCD in the declination band -3° to +3°. It is intended to release the rest of the catalogue later.
