To search the images for galaxy candidates I manually searched SAOds9. By adjusting the scaling of each band in the three color files, I was able to identify 114 galaxy candidates, the results of which are located in Table 1. To retrieve these parameters, I fitted ellipses around every candidate which recored the galaxy position, major and minor axes, the position angle and the notes. In addition, I also identified 135 other interesting objects. These interesting objects can be found in Table 2. To determine whether or not these galaxy candidates were in fact galaxies and if they had been previously observed, I then searched the SIMBAD and HIPASS surveys for their counterparts. The results of this search are located in Table 3.
