Photelectric Photometry of Selected Lanning Stars


Photoelectric photometry was obtained of a number of Lanning stars using the Mt. Wilson 1.5m telescope in combination with the V1-S20 photocathode and the Sandage 4-color UBVR filters. The numbers provided here are not the highest quality, having suffered from poor seeing conditions, variable 'smog' related conditions at Mt. Wilson and various other atmospheric and instrumental problems. However, they do provide a good indication of the general color of the systems in question.
