Abstract:
   We present new Johnson BV CCD photometry of the young cluster NGC 330 in 
   the Small Magellanic Cloud and of a nearby field. Comparing the surface 
   brightness profile of the cluster with the density distribution models of 
   Meylan (1987, 1988) and Elson (1991) we derive the structural parameters, 
   namely the ellipticity, the concentration, and the core and tidal radii. 
   The photometric quality and completeness of the data are analyzed in great 
   detail to derive the reference Color-Magnitude Diagram (CMD) and the 
   Luminosity Function (LF) for main sequence stars of the cluster.
