Abstract
We present photometry of 83 images of the Open Cluster NGC 6811 in five filters, U, B, V, R, and I, taken with the WIYN 0.9m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. Stars in each image were automatically detected and brightnesses measured using a dynamically measured and spatially varying point spread function (psf). Light extending past the psf radius was measured and corrected for. A final catalog of averaged magnitudes in each filter was created and cluster parameters such as age, distance, reddening, and metallicity were derived.
