Scientific paper

The "standard candle method" for Type II plateau supernovae produces a Hubble
diagram with a dispersion of 0.3 mag, which implies that this technique can
produce distances with a precision of 15%. Using four nearby supernovae with
Cepheid distances I find Ho(V)=75+/-7, and Ho(I)=65+/-12.
