Accurate Positions for MCG Galaxies

We have measured accurate celestial coordinates for over 4000 extragalactic objects primarily drawn from a list of MCG galaxies with no recently published accurate positions. We used IPAC's Skyview program to display FITS images clipped from the Digitized Sky Survey, and to measure the coordinates. The standard deviations in the new positions depend slightly on the measurement command used, but are on the order of 1.0 arcsec to 1.2 arcsec (internal errors). The table of data includes all the duplicate measurements we made, as well as corrections and additions made after the PASP paper was submitted, so has 5120 entries.
