Arlo Landolt has measured precise magnitudes for several stars in the field of WZ Sge. Arne Henden reported them to VSNET on Aug 31, 2001, and I show them graphically below.

Sep 17, 2001: This information has now been published by Henden and Landolt, in IBVS volume 5166. To see the paper, go to http://www.konkoly.hu/IBVS/issues.html and type in "5166", followed by "Get it!"

The image above has a size of about 17 arcminutes high by 12 arcminutes wide.

Here is a comparison of Landolt's photometry with that of Arne, and that of Krzeminski and Kraft, 1964, ApJ 140, 921 (referred to as "K and K").

Arne Henden has calibrated many, many fainter stars in this field as well. You can find his photometry at

or a local copy right here:

Bjorn Granslo has created an extended sequence of stars within a few arcminutes of WZ Sge, with magnitudes running from V=8.7 to V=15.4.
