Abstract
The age of NGC 1651 is 1.6 +/- 0.4 billion yr. This letter shows that accurate age determinations of young LMC clusters are achievable with aperture photometry of Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) images taken in a single orbit of the HST.
Based on observations with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
