A photographic atlas and a listing is given for 75 galaxies in the 6/sup 0/ (radius) core of the Virgo cluster that show promise of resolution into individual red and blue supergiants with Space Telescope. Such resolution, together with measurements of the apparent magnitudes of the stars, is expected to give a distance to the cluster core and therefrom the global value of the Hubble constant as H/sub 0/ = (50 +- 7) (21.5/r/sub Virgo/) km s/sup -1/ Mpc/sup -1/.
