Abstract
Previously at Geneseo, photometry was done on data from a single central region of open cluster M34. We present photometry on an extended 2x2 range of the same cluster, including stars that were not in the original catalog. Our presentation discusses our work of matching and combining data from telescope images, and standardizing magnitudes to create a final catalog. With this, we derived the parameters of M34, and present values of cluster age and distance.
