Description:
    This catalog is a compilation of the characteristics of 128 open clusters 
    and the interstellar medium associated with them.  It is distributed as
    the "OCISM Database" which is the set of data files, processing and analysis
    software written in FORTRAN, and the supporting documentation.  As provided 
    by the author, the data are in a multi-record format which is best accessed 
    with the author's software.  
 
    The clusters in this database have been relatively well-studied, have 
    declinations greater than minus 20 deg., are between 1 and 5 kpc distant, 
    and are younger than 100 million years old.  Characteristics compiled for 
    these clusters include cluster identification, spatial coordinates, radial
    velocities (of stellar clusters, H II regions, and molecular clouds), proper
    motions, distance, angular diameter, linear diameter, age, mass (based on
    stellar and atomic gas, ionized gas, molecular clouds, and dust 
    determinations), visual extinction, and reddening.
