Scientific paper

The Pulkovo Normal astrograph (D = 33 cm, F = 346 cm) is a photographic telescope which has been operating since 1893. During its century-long operation, several tens of thousands of plates have been obtained. Each plate contains a wealth of information, since under good atmospheric conditions even 1 min exposure gives images of stars as faint as 12 or 13 mag. Many plates have been obtained with stars (2558), clusters, nebulae, and stellar associations (1289), astrometric standards (1216), minor planets within the IAU program 'Selected Minor Planets' (2634), and major planets such as Mars (503), Jupiter (457), Saturn (533), and Pluto (248). An electronic archive has been created containing information about the plates obtained after the restoration of the telescope in 1949. Each archive entry consists of 10 to 13 plate characteristics that can be used in selecting information from the archive for a particular scientific program. The archive has a form of an IBM PC file supplied with programs for data selection. (Abstract only).
