| Chamaeleon | 297° | −15°.5 | 120−150 | 1, 2, 9 |
| Musca | 301° | −8°.0 | 120−150 | 3, 9 |
| Ophiuchus | 354° | 15°.0 | 120 | 1, 4, 5, 7 |
| R CrA | 0° | −19°.5 | 130 | 1, 8 |
| Taurus | 174° | −14°.0 | 140 | 1, 6, 7 |
| ′′ | 168°.5 | −16°.5 | ′′ | ′′ |
Notes. Since the Taurus cloud is elongated, stars were sampled from around two different centers. The clouds include most of the lines of sight in this study but not those from Anderson et al. (1996).
