Description:
   The very young open cluster Pis 20 has been investigated using CCD UBVR
   photometry. New blue faint members were found down to V=19mag. With them
   we obtain a better definition of the lower cluster main sequence. Using
   the fitting method, we derive a cluster distance of d=3600pc
   (V_0_-M_V_=12.80). The mean color excess is <E_B-V_>=1.24mag.

Note (1): (a) indicates that color excesses were computed through a relation
               between spectral types and color indices following
               Schmidt-Kaler (1982 in: Landolt-Bornstein, Neue Serie VI/2b)
          (b) V_0_ was obtained adopting a mean cluster reddening
               <E_B-V_ >= 1.24. The mass corresponds to the most
               massive cluster star
          (*) denotes possible members
