Scientific paper

A distribution of galaxies across the whole sky is presented based on the northern Morphological Catalogue of Galaxies (Vorontsov-Veliaminov and Krasnogorskaya, 1962; Vorontsov-Veliaminov and Archipova, 1963-1968), MCG, and the southern ESO(B) catalog (Laubers, 1982), and properties of the MCG are contrasted with those of both the ESO(B) and the northern Uppsala General Catalogue of Galaxies (Nilson, 1973). The final whole-sky catalog, containing 34,729 discrete galaxies, is approximately complete to a defined size limit rather than to a magnitude limit, and it is illustrated in a variety of equal-area projections to facilitate comparison with other work. Previously noted large-scale features such as the strong concentration around the supergalactic equator are visible.
