Scientific paper

A recent M(v)-uvby beta calibration for Galactic luminous F-G
supergiants was used to estimate the distance to the Magellanic Clouds
from F supergiants. The distance moduli 19.33 + or - 0.31 for the SMC
and 18.19 + or - 0.22 for the LMC are found. The present limitations of
using F-G supergiants as distance indicators are discussed.
