>>> Sebastian, you are NOT right.
ROTSE-I mags are definitely NOT V band mags !

Hi, Wolfgang,

I never said that! I said that THEY SAY they are something like V. But they 
are not. I know that.
I read the same paragraph that you are quoting from their paper.
Probably I didn't explain myself clearly.

>>> The ROTSE-I folks claim in their papers that their measures are on
a "V-equivalent scale" (...) but actually they do transform the Tycho mags 
to a R band
equivalent system thats compatible with the QE of the used
CCD chip.

That was very clear and answers acurately Chris' question.
Sorry for any confussion I could have caused.

Cheers,
Sebastian.
