Description
From a new infrared photometry of the globular cluster M10 its interstellar extinction and distance i~odu1us are discussed. This is done by comparison with the well-studied clusters M3, M13, and M92. Final values of E(B - V) = 0.17 ± 0.05 and (M~ - V) = 14.0 ± 0.3 are proposed. The dependence on metallicity of these values is briefly discussed
