Abstract

Photoelectric magnitudes and colours in theUBV system have been determined for 50 stars in NGC 6611. The reddening value varies across the cluster fromE(B-V)=0m58 toE(B-V)=1m21. The distance modulus to the cluster is estimated at 12m5±0m2. It is found that cluster stars are not of the same age. The cluster luminosity function is compared with the general and initial luminosity functions.
