Abstract
A-type supergiants are the optically brightest stars in irregular and spiral galaxies and allow the direct determination of stellar abundances for numerous elements. We present preliminary results on the Oxygen abundance determination for objects of the most extreme luminosity class in the Galaxy and M31.
