	"Using Unfiltered Images to Perform Standard Filter Band Photometry"

	This paper demonstrates that raw instrumental magnitudes of stars measured
	from a single UNFILTERED CCD image can be transformed into standard passband
	magnitudes by using cataloged field stars as reference. 
	
	For well calibrated field stars, the transformations to standard magnitudes
	[eg. B V Rc Ic] can be done with a residual standard deviation of better than 0.021
	magnitude. 

	The paper also presents a simple spreadsheet tool to automatically derive the 
	standard passband magnitudes from the raw instrumental magnitudes. This greatly
	simplifies the task of calculating transformation coefficients of an image.
