The Bordeaux Observatory
The Bordeaux Observatory was assigned the zone +11° to +17°.
The 513 plates exposed during the period 1900-1937 are still kept at the Observatory and have been recently used to make a proper motion catalogue (C. Ducourant et al. ,The PM2000 Bordeaux proper motion catalogue, A&A 448, 1235-1245, 2006).
