Observations of variable stars offer a potential to test stellar structure and evolution. The observations can be either of single, isolated stars, or of variable stars in clusters. The STACC group (Frandsen 1992) has for the last several years searched for open clusters with a population of delta Scuti stars. To make this search more efficient, we have produced a target list with a number of promising open clusters. The list includes parameters, finding charts, Colour-Magnitude diagrams (CM diagrams) and references for the clusters. This target list is presented here, and is thus made available to observers interested in participating in the search for variable stars in open clusters. In this paper we describe the motivation, contents and use of the STACC Open Cluster Target List. We also give some guidelines on how to make CCD observations of open clusters in order to search for variable stars.
