[vsnet-campaign-sn 323] Photometric Calibration of the SN2002an Field



Table 1 gives the V and Rc magnitudes of field stars near the position 
of SN2002an.  These observations are provided to assist in photometric
calibration of the SN magnitude.  The observations were taken under
photometric conditions on 01/25/02 UT with a 0.2 m SCT and a SBIG 
ST-8  CCD camera.  Research grade V and Rc filters were used. The 
magnitudes have been color and airmass corrected.  The magnitudes were 
calculated by averaging two observations per star.  The estimated error 
is +/-0.04 magnitude. Table 3 gives the magnitudes, positions, and the 
source of the magnitudes of the photometric reference stars.  MIRA 
software was used to extract the fluxes and all sky photometric
reductions were accomplished using the Henden and Kaitchuck PEP software.
