We performed UBVRI photometry in a 4.7° field of diameter centered on the North Ecliptic Pole, covering all 94 SAO stars and one planetary nebula. This represents the first step of an attempt to improve the knowledge of integrated starlight in this important viewing direction. The contribution of these bright stars to the integrated starlight is considerable (30–40%) and quite unevenly distributed. Therefore, surface photometry with large fields of view should be individually corrected for this contribution.
