This cluster is listed as globular in the Sky Catalogue 2000.0.
Discovered by Holmberg et.al. (1977) and
perhaps identical to van den Bergh-Hagen 66 (vdB-Ha 66, BH 66; see
van den Bergh and Hagen, 1975), this cluster was
discussed as a globular by Malkan (1981), and
included as such in the Sky Catalogue 2000.0.
However, according to Holmberg et.al. (1977)
as well as Webbink (1985), it is most probably an
open cluster.
