Classical broad-band photometry can provide direct comparisons of star clusters both with each other and with theoretical models of stellar evolution. The confidence with which conclusions can be drawn is often limited by the accuracy of the measurements. The present work is part of a long-term attempt to improve photometric calibrations.
