NGC 2368 (also OCL 571) is a magnitude +13.5 grouping of stars located in the constellation Monoceros. 
Results of a photometric study of the cluster were published in 2011, and show that the stars do not form a true cluster but are a chance grouping.

The cluster was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel using a 47.5 cm (18.7 inch) f/13 speculum reflector at Windsor Road, Slough, on the 9th March 1828.

Right Ascension   07h 21m 02.2s, Declination -10° 22' 28"
