DDO photometry is presented for giants in the open cluster NGC 2660. A reddening of E(B-V) = 0.35 is inferred from the observations, as well as a metallicity which is slightly below solar at Fe/H abundance ratio of -0.4. An apparent distance modulus of 13.2 is derived for the cluster, which implies an absolute magnitude of -1.6 for the carbon star suggested by Hartwick and Hesser (1971) to be a member of NGC 2660. Revised DDO colors are also given for five giants in the intermediate-age cluster NGC 2477.
