- BVgri support photometry from APASS now available for 358,963 RAVE stars (and counting)

- median value for the error of the means about 0.013 mag

- no offset/trend and rms=0.025 on Landolt/Sloan photometric standards, about the same as 2MASS JHKs data

- rms of derived photometric temperatures 250 K

- no significant offset with Greg/Jon spectroscopic temperatures from high res APO Echelle observations of 571 well distributed RAVE stars

SUMMARY

- extention toward V=7.5 stars started (essential for accessing the bulk of spectroscopic calibrators)

- inclusion of z’Y band will start soon

- pilot survey of 100 sq.deg in u’ band completed

- analysis of APASS data of PASTEL stars not yet completed but so far promising
