As stated in Section VII.D, the flux densities quoted for the secondary standard NGC 6543 differed from those assumed as inputs to the processing by up to 4%. The cause of these discrepancies is unknown at this time and the effect, although statistically significant, was considered too small, compared to the relative photometric uncertainties, to be remedied.
