Title B and V photometry in NGC 362
Proposing Group(s) Astro Mellemniveau

Abstract: We would like to obtain B and V filter observations of this globular cluster in order to construct a color/magnitude diagram. By obtaining several exposures separated in time, we also hope that we might discover some variable stars.

Comments by OPC

General Comments: Feasible, should provide illustrative results about the distribution of the brightest members of globular clusters in the H-R diagram.

Visibility: Well placed for observations from La Silla.

Special Comments:As the authors anticipate, photometry in the crowded field of the globular cluster will be a problem, so the distance to the cluster center should be chosen carefully.

Expected time consumption (including overhead): About 1 hour in total.

Proposed facility:The Dutch telescope in La Silla must be used due to the latitude of the target.
