The Edinburgh-Cape Blue Object Survey is a major survey to discover blue stellar objects brighter than B ˜ 18 in the southern sky. It is covering an area of sky of 10,000 square degrees with |b| > 30° andδ < 0°. The blue stellar objects are selected by automatic techniques from U and B pairs of UK Schmidt Telescope plates scanned with the COSMOS measuring machine. Follow-up photometry and spectroscopy are being obtained with the SAAO telescopes to classify objects brighter than B = 16.5. This paper describes the survey, the techniques used to extract the blue stellar objects, the photometric accuracy, the spectroscopic classification, and the completeness of the survey.
