Scientific paper

The instrumentation and data-reduction techniques used in the Celescope experiment conducted on board OAO-2 are reviewed. A brief summary is presented of the principles of UV astronomy, the Celescope optical package and bay E4 electronic module assembly are described, and the distribution of the Celescope pictures is plotted in galactic coordinates. Described data-reduction techniques include the determination of the U-B and B-V colors, removal of interstellar extinction effects, and construction of model atmospheres for the observed stars. Some difficulties and apparent contradictions encountered in the data interpretation are noted.
