Abstract
We present multi-frequency maps of a portion of the Galactic Plane centered on a declination of -60 degrees with resolutions ranging from 0.2 to 0.9 degrees. The maps are optimized to detect unresolved source emission and are cross-calibrated against the planet Jupiter. We discuss six millimeter-bright regions, three of which are visible in all bands, and list measured flux densities. Variability is limited to less than 3.8% for all sources seen at 31 and 42 GHz and less than 10% at 144 GHz. Fractional polarization limits smaller than 0.08 are measured for all sources seen at 31 and 42 GHz. No fractional polarization limits are reported at 144 GHz.
