A number of different choices are possible on WFPC2 in order to approximate the Johnson-Cousins system often used in ground based observing. These choices differ in throughput, wavelength fidelity, color transformability, and cosmetics. The HST science program as a whole benefits if a standard set can be agreed upon by the community for broad band photometry. ... These filters form the basis for the WFPC2 broad band photometric system. ... Space Telescope Science Institute . ...

. Accurate flux calibration is required to derive to many intrinsic properties of the galaxy like star formation rate. It is also required to compare the data from different instruments. In this FoF I will summarise some of the issues (and hopefully their solutions) encountered while flux calibrating data from DEIMOS spectrograph on KECK.
