Standard stars: CCD photometry, transformations and comparisons
We discuss variations of the atmospheric extinction coefficients andtransformation equations to the standard UBVRI system based onobservations of standard stars during 1996-97 at Siding SpringObservatory using a thinned SITe CCD and coloured glass filters. In thetransformation from the initial natural system to the Landolt version ofthe standard system, a large nonlinear term related to the Balmerdiscontinuity was required for the U transformation. We then modifiedthe U filter, and the subsequent transformation to the SAAO version ofthe standard UBVRI system had only small nonlinear correction terms forU, B, and I. The correction terms relating to U and B are evidently dueto the Balmer discontinuity, while that relating to I seems to be due tothe Paschen discontinuity at a wavelegth of approximately 8200 Å.We also compared the results with Landolt's observations, and confirmedthe difference between the two sets of standard stars (SAAO andLandolt).

UBVRI photometry of the FK5 Extension Catalogue Stars
UBVRI photometry in the Kron-Cousins system for 272 stars of theExtension Catalogue of the Fifth Fundamental Star Catalogue (FK5 stars)in the declination zone +7 deg to -90 deg is presented. Tables 1-2 arealso available in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp tocdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.html Based on observations made atthe European Southern Observatory, La Silla, Chile.

Secondary standard stars for UVBY beta CCD photometry
Accurate standard uvby indices are presented for 73 southern B, A, F andG stars in the $V$ magnitude range 8.2 to 10.9. They cover all threetransformation regions of the $uvby$ system (Olsen \cite[1983]{Olsen1})well. Standard $\beta$ indices are included for the 55 B, A, and F starsin the sample. Our results provide a useful set of secondary standardsfor uvby beta CCD photometry with southern hemisphere 1-2 m classtelescopes. A critical comparison with published photometry, in generalbased on fewer observations, is given. Based on observations made at theEuropean Southern Observatory, La Silla, Chile. Tables 3, 4, 5 are alsoavailable in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp tocdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.html

A color-magnitude diagram for the Large Magellanic Cloud cluster Hodge 11
A search for RR Lyrae variables in the vicinity of the old LargeMagellanic Cloud (LMC) cluster Hodge 11 has resulted in the discovery ofonly one variable, which is probably a field star. A color-magnitudediagram (CMD) confirms that the cluster is very metal poor, Fe/H = -2.04+/- 0.2, with E(V-I) = 0.10 +/- 0.02. The distribution of stars on thehorizontal branch (HB) is skewed to the extent that only blue HB starsappear to be present - these have a bifurcated grouping, as in M15.There are a few extremely blue stars that appear to be on a hotterextension of the HB - as they have no field counterparts these stars arelikely cluster members. If the LMC distance modulus is assumed to be18.5 mag, and a geometric correction corresponding to the position ofHodge 11 of -0.09 mag is applied, then Mv(HB) = 0.44 +/- 0.12, inexcellent agreement with that found for other old LMC clusters. Thesurrounding field population mostly has age 2-3 Gyr and Fe/H is about -0.5; there is a significant break in the luminosity function at about 2Gyr in that there are only a few younger stars. A small cluster nearHodge 11 has an age of 1.5 Gyr.

UBVRI photometry of FKSZ stars. III
UBVRI photometry in the Kron-Cousins system is presented for 118 starsin the Catalogue of Fundamental Faint Stars (Zverev, 1957) in thedeclination zone between -60 and -90 degrees. The observations were madebetween September, 1984 and March, 1987 at the European SouthernObservatory at La Silla, Chile. Tables of the photometric data aregiven, including star number, V magnitude, spectral types, and (B-V),(U-B), (V-R), and (R-I) color indices.
