We have optically identified a complete sub-sample of ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) X-ray sources contained in 6 study areas. Of the original 12° × 12° area near the NEP, only one-quarter was observed until now in order to keep the number of sources to a manageable size. This area is of particular interest because the RASS integration time is about a factor of ten longer than in the other areas and therefore a factor of 3-4 deeper in flux. We have started to observe the RASS sources in the remaining 3/4 of this area. First results are presented.
