This program consists of three parts. In the first part we will observe a subset of the ACS white dwarfs with HRC and ACS to verify repeatability to 0.2%, because the filter shifts are based on photometric differences between stars of 1%. These observations are also required to establish relative magnitudes of the primary WD standards at the 0.1% level. Targets should be GD153 and G191B2B, which seems to have the largest V mag error of 0.008 mag. One orbit on the most important filters, including the grism and the prisms, should be expended with each camera for both stars for a total of 4 orbits. In the second part will observe with HRC and WFC a solar analog star, P330E, to estimate any shifts in the short and the long wavelength cutoffs of selected filters. Complete filter bandpasses can be derived directly from the ratio of grism observations with and without the filter in place. The grism is on filter wheel 1, while four filters of interest F330W, F344N, F660N, and F814W are on wheel 2. Each grism observation requires 3 settings: filter alone, filter+grism, and grism alone. In the third part we obtain high S/N photometric and spectroscopic observations of three red stars, VB-8 {M7}, 2M0038+18 {L3.5} and 2M0559-14 {T5} with HRC and WFC to verify the photometry at the new standard position and to obtain accurate calibration {1% or better} of the grism spectra.
