The catalogue contains data for 1130 galactic clusters. Each cluster has 255 available storage places. Most of these are reserved for positional, descriptional and physical parameters. In the present version the following items are included:

  1. – Cluster name, OC1 No. (Alter et al. 1970)

  2. – R.A., Dec (1950.0), R.A., Dec. (2000.0), precession for 10 years, galactic longitude, galactic latitude

  3. – Data on peculiar stars (Feinstein 1979): Type, number, references

  4. – Part of Dixon's (1976) catalogue: POSS chart type, chart No., coordinates for chart centre (R.A., Dec), position on chart, largest published angular diameter, magnitude of brightest star, Trumpler class, nebulosity

  5. – Part of Bochum-Strasbourg catalogue (Kluke et al. 1975): Selected angular diameter, distance, magnitude of brightest star, spectral class, total magnitude, colour excess

  6. – Buscombefs (1978) compilation: Radial velocity, distance, colour excess, total apparent magnitude, total absolute magnitude, linear diameter, age, mass

  7. – Basel data (Becker and Fenkart 1971; Fenkart and Binggeli 1979): Photometric system, colour excess, interstellar extinction, distance, spectral type of hottest star, colour type of bluest star, linear diameter, type of observation

  8. – van den Bergh-Hagen (1975) data: Angular diameter, richness

  9. – Lyngå (1979) compilation: Selected angular diameter, references (various other parameters with references will be included later).
