Descripción
The paper presents CCD photometry for stars in three fields centered on the old open cluster NGC 188 and in four fields on the intermediate-age cluster NGC 7789, which has been performed with the aim of investigating the HR diagram distribution of the cluster's Main-Sequence (MS) stars. A sufficiently well-defined sequence of subgiant, turn-off, and MS stars have been detected, extending the observed lower MS down to about V = 20 mag.
