Description

Results of UBV photometry of Pluto during 1982-1983 are reported. Using all photoelectric observations of 1953-1983 a more accurate period is calculated. The significant reddening at maximum light (phases 0.6-0.7) is revealed. The secular variations of the mean brightness of Pluto does not contradict a 124-year periodicity
