Scientific paper

Forty-three cold, dense molecular clouds are digitized from the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey glass plates and presented with epoch 1950.0 equatorial coordinates. Regardless of the cloud's extent, the digitized area is limited to a 23arcmin square on the sky with pixel size of ≡1arcsec.3. The optical maps presented herein are useful for comparing complementary molecular cloud maps from radio or infrared instruments and can be obtained in FITS format for use on astronomical image-processing systems.
