Description
The results of astrometric and photometric investigations of the open cluster NGC 7243 are presented. Proper motions of 2165 stars with root-mean-square error of 1.1mas/yr were obtained by means of PDS scanning of astrometric plates covering the time interval of 97 years. A total of 211 cluster members down to V=15.5mag have been identified. V and B magnitudes have been determined for 2118 and 2110 stars respectively. Estimations of mass 348M_{sun}_<M<522M_{sun}_, age t=2.510^8^yr, distance r=698pc and reddening E(B-V)=0.24 of the cluster NGC 7243 have been made.
