You can use any star (especially if you also include
a check star) as a comparison in these cases.  Submit
the observation with the GSC/Tycho star name in CNAME
and similarly for the check star in KNAME.  Place the
catalog magnitude for the comparison and the check star
in the comments field.  If a calibrated sequence becomes
available later, you may want to go back and correct your
original submission.
