DIAZ-HERNANDEZ, R.; GARCIA-BARRETO, J.A.  and  MORENO-CORRAL, M.A.. Digital images of a set of bright shapley ames disk galaxies from San Pedro Mártir glass plates. Rev. mex. fís. E [online]. 2009, vol.55, n.1, pp.70-84. ISSN 1870-3542.

Optical digital images of a set of Shapley Ames disk galaxies are presented. The images were taken originally on glass plates sensitive to blue light, namely, 103aO. The observations on glass plates were obtained mainly to study peculiar circumnuclear structures, crooked spiral arms, peculiar morphology and the identificatio of possible companions. The glass plates have been scanned and astrometry has been performed in order to determine the position of the brightest central region (compact nucleus) of each galaxy.
