Scientific paper

We present UBVRI photometry of the metal-poor open cluster NGC 2420. Data were taken using the WIYN 0.9m telescope over one photometric night. Point Spread Function photometry was performed and data were standardized using Landolt fields observed on the same night. We present revised parameters for NGC 2420 of reddening, metallicity, distance, and age. This study is a part of an ongoing photometric study of this cluster, and our results provide an independent calibration of the magnitude scale, reducing the systematic errors in the cluster parameters.
