Abstract:
    While performing galactic and extragalactic studies near the galactic
    plane in Cepheus. CCD frames in B, V, and R were taken of the faint
    (V>=16m), previously unstudied open star cluster Berkeley 93 (Be 93).
    Our results indicate that this object is the core of a larger
    aggregate. is slightly evolved. strongly reddened [E(B-V)~1.5], and
    shows a pronounced variable reddening that is probably due to the
    location of the cluster inside (near the border) a dust cloud. By far
    the reddest, and obviously most evolved star is a (variable) carbon
    star that-because of its reddening and location-appears to be a
    cluster member. We present arguments in favor of a large distance of
    more than 5kpc for Be 93 which possibly belongs to the galactic warp.
    As an addendum, we present six star concentrations discovered on the
    POSS or ESO/SERC atlas that might represent hitherto uncatalogued open
    star clusters of "Berkeley type."
