WEBDA mistake?

So the age quoted for NGC2204 in WEBDA is completely wrong. It doesn't fit the data. The most recently published value, which does fit the data, is different by almost one entire Giga-year.

Also, their UBV color magnitude diagram is different from the one the data gives.

This is not a cluster I could use, but I think I should still report the inconsistencies. Not sure how though.

Also for NGC2818, the photoelectric data is mildly consistent with the parameters, but the CCD is just not. Where I found published parameters, they agreed with WEBDA's values that don't fit.

  1. Whoa, thats strange! You should figure out who is in charge of WEBDA and send them a quick email. Is there an email address listed?
