We present CCD UBVI observations obtained in the field
of the previously unstudied northern open clusters NGC 133 and
NGC 1348. We argue that NGC 133 is a heavily contaminated cluster, for
which we identify 13 candidate members down to 
mag
on the basis of the position
in the two-color Diagram. Membership has been checked
against proper motions from Tycho 2, whenever available. The cluster
turns out to have a reddening 
mag, to be
pc distant from the Sun, and to have an age less than
10 Myrs. NGC 1348 is a more reddened clusters
(
mag) for which we isolate 20 members.
The cluster lies at a distance of 
kpc away from the Sun,
and has an age greater than 50 Myrs.
Key words: open clusters and associations: individual: NGC 133, NGC 1348 – open clusters and associations: general
