Stromgren four –colour and photometry has been obtained for 28B and A0 member of the young cluster NGC 2422 A comparition of diagrams clearly shows that the cluster is very similar in age to the Pleiades. Distance estimates for the cluster from three luminosity calibrations of the index and from a direct comparison of the diagram with that of the Pleiades are all in good agreement. If the distance modulus of the Pleiades is taken to be 5.50 the adopted modulus for NGC 2422 is 8.0 corresponding to a distance of 400 pc with an estimated uncertainty of 10 pc.
