Description:
Photometry is given for six data sets of SMC photometry, all in the
V and I bands. Field names in the file summary below are the names
used in the STScI archive for the WFPC2 observations. WFPC2
observations of NGC 121 and the SMC fields reach limiting magnitudes
of V=26 and I=25.5; ground-based observations cover a square region
of 14.5 arcmin on a side and reach V=25.5 and I=24.5.
