Description:
    We present deep CCD BV photometry in the central region of the faint
    open clusters ESO 96-SC04 and ESO 92-SC18. The color magnitude
    diagrams (CMD) here presented allows us to evaluate the clusters ages.
    We found an age of 5.0x10^9^yr for ESO 92-SC18 and 0.7x10^9^yr for ESO
    96-SC04 on the Padova isochrones scale. Estimates of the reddening are
    given for both the target clusters and the distances of these objects
    are substantially revised. We conclude that these clusters belong to
    the old tail of the thin disk population, they are among the most
    distant known open clusters from the Sun and lie near the solar circle
    like the majority of the open clusters.

Historical Notes:
    The original files contained the magnitudes Vmag and B-V in
    E-format with 6 significant digits; these were converted into
    F5.2 values at CDS.
