It is not clear which broadband filter was used. We assumed optical V broadband for simplicity; (2) Barbier \& Swings~(\cite{bar82}), mean of five measurements and after taking into account an interstellar contribution; (3)~Gnedin et~al.~(\cite{gne92}). The PA quoted is the mean value including all filters as reference. \end{table}
