Overview

CWNU 1270 is a sparse, very loose object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a very close distance, near the mid-plane. It is catalogued as a metal-poor, young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the absorption parameter (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature.

Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (Cdup=1.0) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.
