We summarize B,V imagery results from the CTIO 4-m telescope and two electronic detectors: (1) The SIT vidicon at the R-C focus yielded pixels in the 0.82 or 1.1 arcmin2 frames (Harris, Hesser and Atwood 1983). (2) KPNO's P-F CCD (used by McClure and Hesser) gave 0.6 pixels in 3×5′ fields. (The latter data are being analyzed in cooperation with Stryker and Nemec, who observed some of the same objects.) Zero points for the CCD data are set by observations of E region standards and of giants in Galactic star clusters.
