Abstract

The CRONA project is a joint enterprise between Caltech and the astronomical observatory of Rome and Naples aimed to the photometric calibration of the Second Palomar Sky Survey (POSS-II) plates and to the construction of a complete photometric and astrometric catalogue of all objects present on the POSS-II. The calibrated final catalogues of objects will be made available to the community. We present here a comparison between the performances of the SKICAT and DAOPHOT packages applied to POSS-II images of the globular cluster M92.
