“…6) suggests that outliners extend as far as 2.2 from the cluster center. A similar cluster radius (2.4 ) is found by Drake (2005), who furthermore notes a King model core radius of 0.55 for this cluster. The cluster CMD (Fig.…”

“…3. Tables 2a to 2c, positions and angular diameters of the cluster candidates are given, and a DSH designation and the discoverer ID are assigned. It should be noted that 2 of the objects presented in this section (DSH J0629.4+0910 = Alessi 53 and DSH J1959.5+4918 = Patchick 89) turned out to be described by Drake (2005) as objects DC 6 and DC 7, respectively; nevertheless, as in the case of Teutsch 49 (see Sect. 3.2.3), we decided to include these objects as they have been discovered independently.…”

“…Unless otherwise noted, all candidates were discovered between June 2003 and December 2004; the discovery was in each case announced to the DSH newsgroup 5 . One of the described cluster candidates (DSH J0718.1-1734 = Teutsch 49) turned out to be independently discovered by Drake (2005); it is listed therein as DC 2.…”

“…The recent discovery of new galactic open clusters in optical wavelengths by Bica et al (2003cBica et al ( , 2004 and Drake (2005) is remarkable in that as it illustrates that it is still possible to detect unknown clusters on the DSS, even though the systematic searches for faint clusters on the Palomar and ESO/SERC Schmidt plates -which led to the Berkeley open cluster list (Setteducati & Weaver 1962) and to the individual lists which generated the ESO catalogue (Lauberts 1982) -were carried out very carefully. This is also underlined by Pfleiderer et al (1977) and Saurer et al (1994), who reported the discovery of a number of faint clusters apparently not detected during these surveys.…”

An inspection of the DSS and 2MASS images of selected Milky Way regions has led to the discovery of 66 stellar groupings whose morphologies, color-magnitude diagrams, and stellar density distributions suggest that these objects are possible open clusters that do not yet appear to be listed in any catalogue. For 24 of these groupings, which we consider to be the most likely to be candidates, we provide extensive descriptions on the basis of 2MASS photometry and their visual impression on DSS and 2MASS. Of these cluster candidates, 9 have fundamental parameters determined by fitting the color-magnitude diagrams with solar metallicity Padova isochrones. An additional 10 cluster candidates have distance moduli and reddenings derived from K magnitudes and (J − K) color indices of helium-burning red clump stars. As an addendum, we also provide a list of a number of apparently unknown galactic and extragalactic objects that were also discovered during the survey.
