Abstract:
    An average of 30 B,V secondary standards per field have been
    established for 76 variable stars. These are mostly cataclysmic
    variables of various subclasses but also include a variety of other
    kinds of variable stars. The standards are within a few arc minutes of
    the variable and are therefore well suited for CCD photometry. The
    standards have brightnesses of V~12-17 and have a typical accuracy
    per standard of +/-0.01mag.
