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.
