The observations discussed were made on December 6 and 7, 1980, using the Walraven VBLUW simultaneous photometer with the Leiden 90-cm light collector (ESO, La Silla, Chile). For each observation, a 16-arcsec diaphragm was used, and the integration time was 192 s. The astrophysical quantities derived for M 1 from the broad passband VBLUW observations are found to agree with other observations. This agreement is believed to derive from a determination of the contribution of emission line radiation in the observations. It is pointed out that the photometric system may be used to observe, with smaller diaphragms (greater than about 5 arcsec), small-scale details of M 1, for example, the synchrotron emission of the wisps and the line emission at positions where spectral data are given by Woltjer (1958).
