It covers the Northern Hemisphere and the southern tropical latitudes. The Southern Hemisphere was covered by a similar catalogue called the Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey (SUMSS), generated using the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope.

On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.”
