[vsnet-chat 617] Duerbeck sequence for V4334 Sgr



Folks,
     In a preprint to be published in the October 1997 issue of "The
Astronomical Journal", Duerbeck et al. provide a UBVR(Gunn i) photometric
sequence in the field of V4334 Sgr, aka "Sakurai's Object".  Although a chart
is given, there are (as usual) no positions for the stars.  I have extracted
positions for the stars from the USNO A1.0 star catalogue.  The table below
summarizes the BVR data.  The second line of each entry shows the nominal
errors for each value; N.B. some quite large uncertainties among the fainter
stars.  The brightest star was their main comparison, and its magnitude/colors
were more carefully determined.  Note that this star is bright enough to
appear in the southern BD and also in the HDE catalogue with spectral type A0.
