A project of a new photographic catalogue of southern stars was proposed in 1977 by Polozhentsev and Potter (1978). The observations for this catalogue were begun in 1982 with an astrograph (field 5°× 5°) placed at the Bolivian-Soviet observatory near Tarija, Bolivia. The astrograph has an aperture and focal length of 23 and 230 cm, respectively. A total of 6420 plates must be photographed to realize the fourfold coverage of the Southern Hemisphere with a 2° overlap in both coordinates and of these 6405 plates have been taken as of January 1, 1987. V.V. Avramchuk, S.P. Pulyaev, Kh.I. Potter (USSR) and R.F. Zalle, V. Yamaguchi, and E. Espinoza took part in the observations.
