Abstract
UBV photometry of 955 galactic foreground stars in the direction to th e Large Magellanic Cloud is presented. The stars have been chosen from foreground star catalogues and have been measured to complete a new d ata base containing entries of more than 5000 stars in the direction o f the LMC. First and second order extinction coefficients at La Silla/ Chile are given, which differ from the standard values because of the 1991 eruption of the volcano Mt. Pinatubo.
