Ground-based photometry of stars in the OB associations NGC 206 and A184 in M 31 is presented and discussed. The filters that were used are replicas of the F555W and F785LP filters that are with the WF/PC on the Hubble Space Telescope and which will be used frequently in the study of stellar populations with that instrument. These data were obtained in order to aid in the interpretation of the flight data of these fields and are presented here in order to lay a foundation for those observations. These observations serve as a basis for further explorations with the HST of the stellar luminosity function in different galactic environments. 39 refs.
