The cluster parameters determined for the first time by fitting the theoretical isochrones in the V, (V-I) diagram of the cluster stars are E(V-I)=0.60±0.05mag, distance=2.6±0.5kpc, age=400±100Myr and metallicity, Z=0.05. The cluster diameter determined from the radial density profile is 4.8±0.5pc. The mass function of the cluster has a slope of 2.1±05. Description: The VI CCD photometric observations were obtained during May 8 to 10, 2001.
