Abstract:
We present mean reddenings toward 3525 RR0 Lyrae stars from the
Galactic bulge fields of the MACHO Survey. These reddenings are
determined using the color at minimum V-band light of the RR0 Lyrae
stars themselves and are found to be in general agreement with
extinction estimates at the same location obtained from other methods.
