dc.description.abstract	Photographic photometry of about 900 stars down to V = 17 mag has been carried out in the region of the open clusters NGC 2301. The cluster region seems to be severely contaminated by fields stars. Statistical criteria yield only 96 ± 17 cluster members. Stars fainter than V ~ 15 mag are found to be absent among cluster members. Star counts indicate a diameter of ~20 arcmin. The data suggest mass segregation in the cluster.	en_US
