Michael Schwatrz said he would aim his SN-hunting robot telescope in southern Arizona on NGC 3226/27 tonight. It is quite clear down there now, so we should know the result within a few hours. Kato-san has already posted the three stars near the galaxy contained in my photometric reference file. So far I haven't been able to recover where I got those numbers(!), but they're probably reasonably good. Just now I found another paper by Dmitri Tsvetkov (1988 Russian AJ 32, 72 [English]; 65, 140 [Russian]) that includes BV photometry for some additional stars. The overlap with the first list suggests his photoelectric data are okay but a little noisy (0.03-0.05 mag. scatter)---okay for now, but new multicolor determinations would be welcome. The list below repeats the three stars from my file with R magnitudes computed from the V and B-V. Below this are additional stars from Tsvetkov. The first five were observed photoelectrically with a 60cm telescope; the three fainter ones in parentheses were measured on photographic plates using a Racine-type wedge-prism. Again, they are probably okay for the moment, but if someone can observe these with CCD using filters relative to the zero-point set by the ensemble of the brighter stars, then I (at least) would feel better about them. Use with caution for now. I note that the Tycho photometry for the brighter stars in the field have large internal errors, and indeed only for "NGC 3227 2" is the match close; for the others the Tycho errors are greatly underestimated. ...I just realized _I_ could go out and look at this thing! Will report again in a little while.... \Brian Name RA (2000) Dec s GSC V B-V R NGC 3227 2 10 23 34.3 +20 01 55 G 1426-0842 11.11 0.49 (10.82) NGC 3227 1 10 23 13.6 +19 56 23 G 1423-0124 12.83 0.65 (12.46) NGC 3227 4 10 23 10.9 +19 52 05 G 1423-0168 13.54 0.68 (13.16) Tsvetkov 1 10 23 20.7 +19 41 52 G 1423-0013 9.83 1.37 2 10 23 20.3 +19 45 15 G 1423-0045 11.11 0.54 3 10 23 16.5 +19 45 26 G 1423-0040 11.93 0.89 4 10 22 59.6 +19 58 44 G 1423-0021 12.44 0.75 7 10 23 13.9 +19 57 57 G 1423-0199 13.83 1.03 8 10 23 43.2 +19 46 28 G 1423-0268 (14.47 0.65) 9 10 23 36.2 +19 50 10 G 1423-0032 (14.73 0.80) 10 10 23 41.7 +19 51 32 G 1423-0285 (15.22 0.88)
