During the guest observer phase of the EUVE Mission, data are being collected with the survey scanners and the Deep Survey Scanner. The EUVE Right Angle Program (RAP) involves the analysis of this data set and the coordination of possible simultaneous observations with ground based instruments. This data set consists of several discrete pointings performed at a much deeper level than the previous EUVE all-sky survey, although covering only a few percent of the sky. Analysis of this data set has detected a large number of previously undetected EUV sources. We present here a preliminary list of the sources observed during the EUVE Right Angle Program and compare properties of this list with properties of the EUVE Bright Source List.

This work has been supported by NASA contract NAS5--30180.
