Abstract:
    In this paper we present charge-coupled device (CCD) images in the
    Johnson B and V and Kron-Cousins I passbands for the previously
    unstudied open cluster NGC 5288. The sample consists of 15688 stars
    reaching down to V∼20.5. The cluster appears to have a relatively
    small but conspicuous nucleus and a low-density extended coronal
    region.

Description:
    The NGC 5288 field was observed on 1998 June 19-20 with the Cerro
    Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) 0.9-m telescope and with the
    Tektronix 2K #3 CCD, using quad-amp readout.
