Abstract
We have obtained spectrophotometry in the wavelength range 350-920 nm for 2 1 15th magnitude stars. These stars have right ascension at 30 minute inter vals in the range 8-18 hr and declination near +33 degrees. Mean magnitudes are presented at 5 nm intervals, with calibration derived from Kitt Peak s econdary spectrophotometric standards. Typical internal and absolute errors are estimated to be less than 0.02 and 0.05 mag, respectively. The sequenc e was established in order to provide calibration stars for drift-scan obse rvations of a strip of sky centered at this declination. Because the stars are relatively faint and span the north Galactic cap, they should be well s uited to the calibration of other data sets.
