[22.05] WFPC-2 CMDs of Cepheid Calibration Fields in M33 and M31

W.L. Freedman (OCIW), in collaboration with members of the HST Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale, and with members of the WFPC-2 IDT

New WFPC-2 data for M31 and M33 have been obtained as part of the {\it Hubble Space Telescope} Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale. We present deep I-(V-I) color-magnitude diagrams and luminosity functions of a field in the inner region of M33 and a field in Baade's Field IV in M31. In the case of M33, these frames provide both a photometric tie-in to ground-based observations and provide an assessment of the amount of crowding in the vicinity of the Cepheids.
