And this is what I plan to do. Still struggling with how pessimistic to 
be with the error bars - the ones plotted are 2 x the SD of the 
(fainter) check star measurements (1 SD is 0.009 in B and 0.004 in V).

There has been enough discussion about error report on this list to 
split a spectroscopic binary in a Tasco, but I haven't settled on a 
recipe yet.
