Description:
    The observations were acquired in two nights, 1993 December 20-22,
    with the EMMI camera on the NTT telescope at ESO.
    The photometric limit is close to the cluster main-sequence turnoff;
    a comparison of the photometry with Walker (1990AJ....100.1532W)
    shows slight systematic differences . the present magnitudes being
    fainter by 0.03-0.05mag, and colors being bluer by 0.05mag.
    The estimated parameters of the populous globular cluster NGC 1841,
    located approximately 15deg from each of the Magellanic Clouds and
    probably dynamically associated with the LMC, are:
      [Fe/H]   = -2.0  +/- 0.15
      E(B-V)   =  0.17 +/- 0.03 mag
      (m-M)_0_ = 18.26 +/- 0.11 mag  (true distance modulus)
