UBVRI Photometry of stars useful for checking equipment orientation stability.
Abstract
Several sets of stars have been measured, equally spaced around the sky in right ascension, over a range in declination from -75° to +30°. The goal was to obtain a number of well-observed stars with quality internally consistent magnitudes and color indices. The stars were needed to check orientation effects of photometric equipment.
