12:14:07.9 +33:43:58 2000.00 13.90 292.4 12:14:11.6 +33:46:25 2000.00 13.80 306.2 12:14:13.3 +33:47:15 2000.00 12.30 323.9

Where the first three fields are the RA, Dec and equinox, the fourth field is the Hubble magnitude, and the fifth field is the distance in arc-seconds from the specified coordinates. The targets are printed out in no particular order.
