Description:
    This is the third catalogue of photometric data in the Stroemgren
    system obtained during the period October 1990-January 1992 in the
    framework of the Long-Term Photometry of Variables (LTPV) program at
    the European Southern Observatory.
    All data have been obtained with the Danish 50-cm telescope.
    The mean values of the r.m.s. deviations of the differential
    measurements of comparison stars are around (from Table 4 of paper)

Historical Notes:
 * 01-Jun-1995:
    Corrections in file "stars3.dat" in the electronic version:
    => P7073 and P7074 (CPD instead of BD)
    => P2003 (in Vol constellation instead of Vel).
    => B7070, A7071, B7071 were added.
    => A7070, P7070, A2027, P2027, P2027, B2027, A2028, P2028, B2028, B2028
       Durchmusterung designations added
    => Designations of stars provided by Chris sterken <csterken@vub.ac.be>
       A7074 A7076 B7073 B7074 B7076 C5006
  * 27-Nov-1995: HDJ dates converted to absolute values, and
    "ReadMe" file standardized at CDS
