This work is based partly on observations made by the MACHO Project with the 50-inch telescope at the ANU's Mt Stromlo Observatory (ANUMSO), by H. Jerjen with the 40-inch telescope at the ANU's Siding Spring Observatory, and on observations made at the European Southern Observatory, La Silla, Chile. We thank the RAPT Group of amateur astronomers (E. Pozza, A. Brakel, B. Crooke, S. McKeown, G. Wyper, K. Ward, D. Baines, P. Purcell, T. Leach, J. Howard, D. McDowell, M. McDonald, A. Salmon and A. Gurtierrez) for providing images from the 30-inch telescope at ANUMSO, and the SuperCOSMOS team for making a scan of an SERC Survey Plate taken with the UKST. J.v.P., C.K., M.K. and K.H. were supported by NASA.
