I have put a new copy of my large photometry reference file at the Lowell ftp area: http://ftp.lowell.edu/pub/bas/starcats/loneos.phot (2.8Mb) http://ftp.lowell.edu/pub/bas/starcats/loneos.phot.gz (700Kb) http://ftp.lowell.edu/pub/bas/starcats/loneos.ref (128Kb) ...for the flat ASCII, gzip-compressed, and reference files, respectively. There are not a lot of new additions, only minor changes. The file contains BVRI photometry as available for some 33800 stars all over the sky with V > 10; most of the stars are between 12th and 18th magnitude. It is thus suitable for calibration of wide-field images and other tasks. Most of the stars are in sequences near variable stars and supernovae, active galaxies, on the periphery of star clusters, etc. Though some bona-fide standard stars are included, in general the intention is to provide local zero-point stars reliable at the ~0.05 mag. level or better. \Brian
