Abstract
We present 5 filter photometry of 21 carbon stars, 15 asteroids, 15\ncataclysmic variables, 6 metal-poor stars, 5 Cepheids, 1775 field stars, blue\nhorizontal branch (BHB) stars and RR Lyrae stars in the globular clusters M 15\nand M 2, two primary standards, and 19 secondary standards. The photometry was\ncarried out using a filter set identical to that which will be used for the\nSloan Digital Sky Survey. We find that carbon stars, CVs, R-type, J-type, and\nV-type asteroids, BHB stars, and RR Lyr stars should be identifiable on the\nbasis of SDSS photometry alone, while Cepheids, metal-poor stars, and many\ntypes of asteroids are indistinguishable from the stellar locus of field stars.\n
