Bonner Durchmusterung Catalog

(BD, Durchmusterung)
(well-known astrometric catalog from late 1800s)

The Bonner Durchmusterung Catalog (Durchmusterung or BD) is a whole-sky (except for the far south) catalog of the astrometry and apparent magnitude of stars, assembled at the Bonn Observatory (specifically the University of Bonn's old observatory, within its campus) from 1859 to 1903, covering 325,000 stars to a magnitude of +9 or +10. Two extensions covering the southern-hemisphere extensions are the Cordoba Durchmusterung (data collected by the Cordóba Observatory, Argentina), and the Cape Photographic Durchmusterung (Cape Observatory, South Africa).
