Abstract: The BATC (Beijing-Arizona-Taipei-Connecticut) intermediateband 15 filter photometry system has been tested by using the Michigan Curtis Schmidt telescope at CTIO taking one-degree fields around NGC 288, SA 92, 94, 95, Lp 543-32/33.BVRI and uvby, H/3 filter observations of these same fields were also made using the 0.9 m CTIO telescope.The main purpose of these observations is to compare the results from the standard filter color systems (UBVRI and ubvy, H/3) to those we can construct from the BATC filter system.These fields were chosen based on available filter color data in those systems.The BATC data are being taken on a Schmidt telescope similar to that at CTIO, so that these observations can provide an independent source of calibration for the BATC data.This is a report on the status of this study.
