Abstract Following the detection of dust clouds in several globular clusters (Forte and Mendez), we present new U CCD data of the southern globular cluster NGC 362. Image processing shows the existence of dark patches distributed asymmetrically around the center of the cluster. Three different types of arguments are used to identify these patches as dark clouds within the cluster, namely (1) color mapping; (2) improved resolution images using modified unsharp masking technique; (3) behavior of the apparent extinction with wavelength. Finally, a total dust mass of about 0.1 solar mass is estimated for the cloud complex.
