Estimate of zero point

The comparison of fluxes observed of standard stars with the fluxes measured by Landolt make it possible to reverse the A.5 relation and to deduce zero point from it from the telescope. These measurements are generally sullied with error in the calculation of flux, moreover, certain stars of Landolt are variable or present measurements with a significant error. Measurements of zero point are thus taken in a statistical way on a significant number of stars.
