Until now, all that we've known about the magnitudes and colors of Wolf-Rayet stars has been based on photoelectric photometry made with 50–150 A wide interference filters, selected to exclude as far as possible the stronger emission lines (Westerlund 1966; Smith 1968, Lundstrom and Stenholm 1979). This was clearly an improvement on the pioneering efforts of Pyper (1966), who obtained broad band photometry and attempted to correct for the presence of emission; nevertheless, with modern detectors it is possible to go one step further.
