Overview
ℹī¸
Berkeley 65 is a moderately populated, very dense object of intermediate C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate distance, near the mid-plane, affected by high extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, very young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the metallicity parameter (see Parameters). It is moderately studied in the literature.

Note: This object shares a very small percentage of members with 2 later reported entries. See table with shared members information.
