Overview
MCM 88 is a poorly populated, dense object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate* distance, near the mid-plane. It is catalogued as a cluster (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature, with no articles listed in the last 13 years.
(*): The parallax distance estimate (~2.33 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~1.61 kpc).
