Abstract
- This article discusses a comprehensive survey of infrared sources embracing the night sky using a specially built 62-inch reflecting telescope positioned on Mount Wilson in California. Observations revealed about 20,00 infrared sources in all, including a cool object which seems to be unique in the combination of its great brightness, extreme redness and lack of variability.
