Abstract

We are reporting some basic parameters of two newly discovered clusters, VVVX CL076 and CL077, recently discovered in the galactic disk area covered by the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea eXtended (VVVX) ESO Public Survey. The preliminary analysis shows that both clusters are young and relatively close to the Sun.
