Abstract
The purpose of this research is to determine the physical properties of an open cluster,
including its age, using standard methodology. It is based on a photometric analysis of the stars in
the area covered by the cluster, but astrometry is also needed to segregate cluster stars from eld
stars. The colour-magnitude diagram is used for distance and age determination. The study focuses on NGC6405, a relatively young nearby open cluster.
