Description
The open cluster IC1369, located in Cygnus close to the galactic equator at the 89.6{deg} longitude, and its vicinity are investigated by applying two-dimensional photometric classification of stars down to V=19mag measured in the Vilnius seven-color photometric system. Employing the Gaia DR2 coordinates, parallaxes, and proper motions, 143 cluster members are found having cluster membership probabilities >=0.75. The hottest stars of the evolved main sequence are of spectral class B9. Distances to the cluster, determined by two methods based on the Gaia parallaxes, are 3280 and 3370pc with an uncertainty of 400-500pc. Employing the physical HR diagram with the coordinates logL/L_{sun}_ versus logTeff and the Padova isochrones, the cluster age is found to be between 300 and 350Myr. Among the cluster members we identified six red giants of spectral classes G5-G8 and luminosities II-III, 17 Am stars, one Ap star, and one B5 blue straggler. The extinction shows a steep rise up to ~2.0mag at 300-700pc, caused by the extensions of the dust cloud LDN970 and the Great Cygnus Rift, and up to ~2.5mag at the edge of the Perseus arm at 3.0kpc. The extinction is almost constant between 0.9 and 2.5kpc from the Sun. The average extinction of the cluster members is 2.54mag. A systematic error of color excesses found in the Argonaut calculator results is discussed.
