Abstract:
    A photometric sequence consisting of 53 stars measured in the V, B,
    and I bands has been set up in the vicinity of the rich, young Large
    Magellanic Cloud cluster, NGC 1866. Many of these stars are relatively
    isolated and are thus suitable for use as local standard stars for
    photometric studies of the cluster. Color magnitude diagrams to a
    limit of V=20.5 for various parts of the 13x13arcmin field,
    centered on the cluster, show that NGC 1866 is embedded in a mix of
    populations which includes stars younger than the cluster itself, the
    dominant 0.5-3Gyr population, plus some very old stars represented by
    four RR Lyrae variables.
