Abstract

We discuss the state of the distance scale of open clusters in view of various capabilities provided by optical and near-IR observations of galactic objects. Various checks lead to the conclusion that open cluster distance scale requires no appreciable correction. (© 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
