TASS Mark IV patches photometric catalog, version 2

We describe the design and construction of our Mark IV systems, a set of wide-field telescopes with CCD cameras which take simultaneous images in the V and I passbands. We explain our observational procedures and the pipeline which processes and reduces the images into lists of stellar positions and magnitudes.

We have compiled a large database of measurements for stars in the northern celestial hemisphere with V-band magnitudes in the range 7<V<13. This paper describes data taken over the four-year period starting November, 2001. One of our results is a catalog of repeated measurements on the Johnson-Cousins system for over 4.3 million stars.
