Abstract
We have measured proper motions, positions, magnitudes, and colors for 630 stars to V similar to 16.2 in the vicinity of the open cluster NG C 1039=M34. A proper motion membership probability analysis has been p erformed. We give for all stars the equatorial coordinates, the proper motions, the V magnitude, and the membership probability. For the mos t likely cluster members we also give B-V and (V-I)(K) colors. Cross i dentifications with previous surveys are also provided. We find an age for the cluster of 200-250 Myr and a distance of 475 parsecs. (C) 199 6 American Astronomical Society.
