Abstract
We present NTT V,I observations of Palomar 6 and Djorgovski 1, two obs cured loose clusters in crowded fields. We derive a reddening of E(B - V) = 1.33 +/- 0.10, a distance d(.) approximate to 8.9 kpc, and a met allicity of [Fe/H] approximate to -0.4 for Pal 6, and E(B - V) = 1.71 +/- 0.10, d(.) approximate to 8.8 kpc, and a similar metallicity ([Fe/ H] approximate to -0.4) for Djorg 1.
