Abstract:
   We present deep BVI photometry for three previously unstudied rich and 
   distant open clusters. The color-magnitude diagrams of all studied objects 
   show well-defined main-sequences and clumps of helium burning giants. 
   Estimates of age, reddening and distance are given for all target clusters. 
   Ages of Be 54 and Be 29 are close to the age of M 67 (about 4Gyr on the 
   scale of Geneva isochrones). Age of Be 22 is about 3Gyr. Heliocentric 
   distance of Be 29 is estimated at 10.5 kpc while its galactocentric 
   distance is about 19kpc. Be 29 seems to be the most distant galactic open 
   cluster known in sense of its heliocentric as well as galactocentric 
   distance. A clearly marked sequence of binaries is visible on the 
   color-magnitude diagram of Be 29. Two likely candidates for evolved giants 
   belonging to the very extended halo of Be 29 were identified. Our 
   photometry suggests extremely low metallicity of Be 29. Several candidates 
   for variable stars were found in the field of Be 54.
