Description:
    In total, more than 550 objects within the fields of five open
    clusters (NGC 2439, NGC 3960, NGC 6134, NGC 6192 and NGC 6451) were
    investigated in order to find classical chemically peculiar stars. One
    bona-fide CP candidate was detected in each of the open clusters NGC
    3960, NGC 6192 and NGC 6451. All three objects seem to be members of
    the corresponding cluster taking the results from our photometry as
    well as from the literature. For NGC 6192 and NGC 6451 we found widely
    different interstellar reddening values and therefore distances and
    ages in the literature. From an analysis of published Johnson UBVRI
    photometry, we were able to rule out a rather old age for NGC 6451.
    This is also supported by the finding of one peculiar object in this
    cluster with spectral type of about A2. Five variable objects within
    the field of NGC 6134 were detected. The variability exceeds 10 times
    (or typically 0.03 mag) the standard deviation of the weighted
    individual measurements. But since our observations were obtained
    mostly during one hour (typical integration times of five minutes per
    filter) on several nights within 45 days, no light curves could yet be
    derived. For this cluster some Am candidates were reported for which
    we were not able to detect a significant positive {Delta} a-value.
