Abstract:
    Differential Stroemgren uvby photometric observations from the Four
    College Automated Photoelectric Telescope are used to examine the
    possible variability of the spectrophotometric standards {theta} Vir
    and 109 Vir. No evidence is found for variability within a season of
    observation. Small year to year differences are most likely due to
    unaccounted for extinction changes.
