Hi Mati and readers, re: PKS 2155-304 and 'accurate V magnitudes' The given magnitude (12.6V) for comparison star C is visually out of order in so much that it is of a disturbing nature during the estimate. It looks rather as 12.3 or 12.4 to me. Any comments? Maybe it is variable? With a B-V of 0.6 it shouldn't be an awkward comparison star unless it were to be an emission-liner re: PKS 2005-489 and Berto's (inaccurate?) magnitudes I used comparison magnitudes from a nearby GSPC field and transfered this info into a convenient set of sequences near PKS. re: other blazars PKS 2316-423 was <14.0 recently and might be of the brightness indicated in the literature. Regards, Berto Monard Pretoria
