Abstract
Photometry in the BVI and JHK bands is presented for the first time for the southern open clusters Danks 1 and 2, located in the Centaurus region. They are relatively rich and compact, and projected at approximately 4 arcmin from each other. The clusters are very reddened, with AV = 8.1 ± 0.45 and 9.3 ± 0.6, respectively. They are young clusters, with ages of approximately 10 Myr, and may be related to the 305◦ HII region complex in the area. Distances from the Sun of d̛ ≈ 3.6 ± 0.5 and 3.4 ± 0

They are relatively rich and compact, and projected at approximately 4 arcmin from each other. The clusters are very reddened, with AV = 8.1 ± 0.45 and 9.3 ± 0.6, respectively. They are young clusters, with ages of approximately 10 Myr, and may be related to the 305◦ HII region complex in the area. Distances from the Sun of d̛ ≈ 3.6 ± 0.5 and 3.4 ± 0.2 kpc are derived for Danks 1 and 2. They might form a physical cluster pair.
