Summary

VVV 068 is a poorly populated, very loose object of very low C3 quality. It is located at a moderate distance from the Sun, near the mid-plane. It is rarely studied in the literature, with no articles listed in the last 14 years.This is a unique object, which shares a very small percentage of members with at least one previously reported entry, and a very small percentage with at least one entry reported in the same catalogue.

Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (C_dup=0.98) indicates that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.
