Multicolor photometry of field galaxies to B = 24The redshifts and colors of nearly 10,000 galaxies at galactic latitudes SA57 and SA68 were determined by photometric scans which included UV and near-IR bands, covering 0.5 sq deg of sky. Slopes were calculated for UV, IR, red and blue counts of galaxies with respect to the brightness detected. It was found that galaxies of magnitudes over 20 show increasingly greater UV excess, which may be indicative of star formation regions. Future applications of the data generated for examining galaxy clustering patterns and evolutionary scenarios are discussed.
