Summary

NGC 1252 is a poorly populated, moderately dense object of very low C3 quality. It is located at a close distance from the Sun, well below the mid-plane. It is rarely studied in the literature, with no articles listed in the last 8 years.

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