Selecting High-Precision Photometry on Uniform Zero Points for Five Benchmark Galactic Clusters

This paper reviews results from two projects designed to yield photometry on uniform zero points for five clusters--Coma, the Hyades, M67, NGC 752, and Praesepe. Contributing papers for a project on Cousins VRI photometry and a project on Stromgren-beta photometry are listed. Results of zero point tests of the photometry are reviewed, and their character is found to be satisfactory at the level of a few mmag. Responses to extant criticisms of the photometry are offered, and a section on B-V photometry for the five clusters is included. Because the results of the projects suggest that certain changes should be made in current perspectives on photometry, those changes are reviewed. Finally, suggestions are made about future uses of data from the projects.
