We continue to measure BVR optical colors of faint outer solar system objects using the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT), a 1.8-m telescope located on Mt. Graham, Arizona. We report colors for 27 objects observed in one of five observing runs between November 2003 and October 2005. These objects bring the total number of outer solar system objects with BVR colors in our survey to about 120. A table of these colors can be found at www.physics.nau.edu/ tegler/research/home.htm.
We have combined our colors with those of other large surveys to yield the largest possible samples of colors of objects of various dynamical groups. In this talk, we will concentrate on the colors of Plutinos, as we now have colors for over 40 Plutinos.
We thank the NASA Planetary Astronomy program for funding this work.
