Abstract

Existing photoelectric V magnitudes given in Blanco et al. (1968) and later referecnes, together with the standard photo-visual sequences published by Wirtanen and Vyssotsky (1945) are being incorporated into the planned "AAVSO Atlas of Variable Stars". These data will provide reliable comparison star magnitudes for most of the variable stars brighter than tenth magnitude.
