The Vilnius photometric system permits one to determine photometrically temperatures and log g's or spectral types and MV's of stars in spite of the presence of interstellar reddening. The position of any normal star in the HR diagram can be determined by its direct calibration in five reddening-free quantities Q. The position of the star in the HR diagram corresponds to the point at which five Q-isolines intersect. This is the most direct way to find the position of the star in the HR diagram from photometry.
