2 Observations and data reduction

Observations were conducted at La Silla on April 13-16, 1996, with the 0.92 m ESO-Dutch telescope. The observations strategy, the data reduction, the error analysis and a comparison between CCD and photoelectric photometry have been presented in Patat & Carraro (2001), which the reader is referred to for any detail. Finally, all the data are available upon request to the authors.
