dc.descriptionThe "standard candle method" for Type II plateau supernovae produces a Hubble diagram with a dispersion of 0.3 mag, which implies that this technique can produce distances with a precision of 15%. Using four nearby supernovae with Cepheid distances I find Ho(V)=75+/-7, and Ho(I)=65+/-12.
