A catalog of QSO candidates from a BVRI CCD survey of the North Ecliptic Pole

Twenty-five QSO candidates with B </= 22.0 have been selected from a 0.33 sq. deg. BVRI CCD survey of the North Ecliptic Pole. Those stellar-like objects which departed significantly from the locus defined by stars in a multi-color space were identified as candidates. We looked unsuccessfully for objects which might have been anomalously fainter than the limiting magnitude in one or more bands. Two of the candidates near the red end of the stellar locus may be M or K dwarf stars, and two candidates with the V - I > 1.0 may be unresolved galaxies. The completeness of the survey, estimated from the fraction of QSOs with colors indistinguishable from stars, is about 50% to B = 21.60. Contamination by main-sequence stars, white dwarf stars, blue sub-dwarf stars, and galaxies is about 20%.
