Abstract

We have discovered a number of sources still remaining in the IRAS catalogs with no convincing optical identification. Their IR colors and high galactic latitudes indicate faint galaxies (fainter the DSS limit). These empty fields have been observed with the Byurakan Obs. 2.6m telescope in VRI. 22m–23m faint formations have been revealed.
