Abstract:
    We present Walraven-photometric data of 114 stars of 5.9<V<14.7 within
    17 arcmin of the Luminous Blue Variable AG Car (HD 94910). The results
    are expressed in terms of V-magnitude in the Johnson system and in
    observed and extinction-free colours in the Walraven system.
    For a description of the Walraven photometric system, see e.g. <GCPD/11>

Note (1): The coordinates are derived from the telescope setting; 
     the 1988 equinox is assumed, the DE seems to be in error by 11' 
     (11' should be substracted to get 1988 Declination).
     The accuracy is +/-4s in RA, +/-.005deg in DE
