I am now engaged in an objective-prism program directed toward the discovery of new peculiar and interesting stars in most of the northern sky. The plates utilized are 20-min. blue exposures taken with the Warner & Swasey Observatory’s Burrell Schmidt telescope, now located on Kitt Peak. The dispersion of the spectra is 108 A/mm at Hγ, the limiting magnitude about mpg =10.5, and the plate quality generally excellent. This paper discusses the history and status of the project and gives examples of the variety of objects being found.
