J/A+A/317/423       Revised photometry of SNIa                     (Patat, 1997)
================================================================================
Revised photometry and color distribution of Type Ia supernovae
observed at Asiago in the seventies.

Description:
    Re-calibrated B magnitudes and (B-V) colors for the stars of the local
    sequences used at Asiago in the seventies as reference for the SN
    photometry are given in table3. For comparison, also the Asiago
    original data are given. Identification charts are found in the
    original papers.

Note (1): An "a" indicates original photometry in the m_pg_ system
Note (2): Because of the large discrepancy (B*_CCD_-B*_As_=2.98mag) most
    likely the star was misidentified on the published map (Ciatti &
    Rosino 1978A&AS...34..387C). For this reason it has been excluded from
    the discussion.
Note (3): The CCD image shows that this is a galaxy, not a star
