Description: During 1993-94 and 2004-08, DM UMa was observed on a total of 82 nights in standard Johnson BV bands with the 34-cm telescope of Vainu Bappu Observatory, Kavalur. All the measurements were made with respect to BD+60 1301 during 1993-94 and with respect to BD+61 1210 during 2004-08. BD+61 1210 and BD+60 1297 were observed as check stars during the first and second periods, respectively. DM UMa was also observed with the 60-cm telescope operated by San Diego State University at Mt Laguna, CA, on a total of 213 nights simultaneously in standard Johnson UBV bands during 1988-89 and in UBVRI bands during 1990-2007. BD+60 1301 was used as the comparison and BD+60 1306 as the check star.
