Abstract
A 21-cm neutral hydrogen survey has been carried out in a region of the galactic disk known as the “Puppis Window.” This unique area of the Milky Way contains much less absorbing interstellar dust than is found in more typical regions of the Galaxy. In fact, galaxies have been observed near the galactic equator (Dodd and Brand 1976). It has been estimated that the total visual extinction out to the edge of the Galaxy in the direction 1=245° is only four to five magnitudes (FitzGerald and Moffat 1976). Hence, this region of the Galaxy is ideally suited for the comparison of optical and radio observations, extending out to much greater distances than is normally feasible in other portions of the galactic disk.
