Scientific paper

Magnitudes are presented in 10 bandpasses for 63 stars that can be used as standards in photometric observations of comets. The bandpasses are, in addition to those for three (UV, blue, and red) continuum points, those which measure C2, C3, CN, CO(+), H2O(+), OH, and NH emissions. After correction for extinction, the derived magnitudes were transformed to a zero point such that all filters showed magnitude 5.88 for the star HD 3379. The internal agreement among the present observations and the agreement obtained between the observations and independently published measures indicate that the derived magnitudes are generally accurate to + or - 0.01 mag.
