Abstract:
   We present CCD photometry on the BV(RI)_KC_ (Cape) photometric system of the
   core of the young open cluster, NGC 5460, to a magnitude limit V=~19,
   R=~19.5. We give photometry for 353 stars and identify 25 as cluster members
   along with a further 27 as possible members based on their positions in
   individual colour-magnitude diagrams. We estimate the reddening to the
   cluster and redefine its distance and age. Four stars are identified as
   possible variables and their nature discussed.
