The Moffet & Barnes BVRI system

Abstract
A thorough test of Fernie's instrumentation system for matching the Johnson
BVRI photometric system has been made. From 1,526 observations of 186 stars
in the Arizona-Tonantzintla Catalogue, we find excellent transformations,
except for a slight curvature in the (B-V) transformation, which is easily
removed, and a difficulty in (R-I) for highly reddened stars. Photometric
values and their uncertainties are given for all the stars, and these are
of sufficient quality to serve as secondary standards in BVRI for small-to
moderate-size telescopes (1-m).
