Looking at my exposure logs, I took both long and short exposures of
this field, so should have brighter stars calibrated than V=14.  However,
these frames were also taken in 1993 using the 6.7x6.7arcmin FOV CCD,
so only nearby stars would be recorded.  I'll look at them sometime in
the next day or so.
