Scientific paper

Analysis of low-resolution spectra of K giants in the old open clusters NGC 188 and NGC 6791 yields [Fe/H]=0.075+/-0.045+/-σsys for NGC 188 and [Fe/H]=0.320+/-0.023+/-σsys for NGC 6791. The term σsys represents the drift between our underlying star catalog's abundance scale and the true abundance scale. Star R23 in NGC 6791 has [Fe/H]>0.6 according to our analysis and deserves further study.
