Photometry of the Anti-Galactocentric Old Open Clusters

We present the python codes that may be useful for optical photometry and analysis of star clusters. Here, we use a sample case of using four open clusters (OCs) in the Milky Way published in the Astronomical Journal. See Im et al. (2023, AJ, 165, 53) for details on the paper, photometry and analysis.

Figure 1 : B-band images of the open clusters

These are the images of the four OCs showing equatorial and Galactic coordinates.
