Description:
An amount of 959 blue straggler candidates were selected from their
position in the colour-magnitude diagram in 390 open clusters of all
ages. A set of basic data is given for every cluster and blue
straggler.

Note on table1.dat:
For completeness we include some clusters with published
colour-magnitude diagrams although the corresponding tables of
magnitudes were not available to us at the time of preparing this
catalogue. These clusters are: Basel 4, NGC 2323, NGC 2910, NGC 3330,
NGC 6451, Basel 5, Trumpler 31, NGC 6603, and NGC 6811.
