The sample consists of 9876 stars measured in an area of 13.6'x13.6', extending down to V∼21.5mag. Star counts carried out within and outside the cluster region allowed us to estimate the cluster angular radius as 8'. Description: CCD images of the cluster field were obtained with the Johnson B and V and Kron-Cousins I filters using the 0.9m telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO; Chile) on 1998 June 17-18.
