The "Lick Observatory Sky Atlas" (Lick Observatory, 1965) is a set of plates for 166 fields of 18 by 18 degrees, covering the sky from the north pole down to -30 degrees of declination. "The Mount John University Observatory Photographic Sky Survey" (Doughty et al., 1972) covers 142 similar fields from -15 degrees of declination down to the south pole. In the region of overlap, the fields are the same for the two surveys. Fields 1-46 of the Mount John survey cover the part of the sky (-45 degrees of declination to the south pole) not in the Lick survey; in a special limited edition published in 1972, this part is called the "Canterbury Sky Atlas" (Australia). The overlap between fields is 3 degrees. The plate scale is approximately 232 arc seconds per millimeter. The limiting magnitude is approximately 16. Neither survey is intended for astrometry or photometry; the Lick survey was originally done to obtain galaxy statistics (Shane and Wirtanen 1967). An excellent summary of several photographic sky surveys is given by Ingrao and Kasparian (1967). T. A. Nagy (1980) generated the dataset described, and also gathered most of the material used in the writing of this document. (1 data file).
