We report MMT Echelle radial velocity observations of 52 giants within 3 core radii of the center of NGC 6712. The mean radial velocity of these stars is −107.5 km/s, with a line of sight velocity dispersion of 4.0 km/s. We use these data, together with CCD photometry of the cluster, to derive a mass to light ratio for the center of the cluster of 0.7, an unusually low value.
