Abstract

We present BV photometry and the results of a search for stellar variability in the globular cluster NGC 5286, which has tentatively been associated with the Canis Major dwarf spheroidal galaxy. Our results indicate an Oosterhoff type II for the cluster, which is unusual for an object of extragalactic origin.
