Proper motions and CCD-photometry of stars in the region of the open cluster NGC 1513

The results of astrometric and photometric investigations of the poorly studied open cluster NGC 1513 are presented. The proper motions of 333 stars with a root-mean-square error of $1.9\;{\rm mas\,yr^{-1}}$ were obtained by means of the automated measuring complex “Fantasy”. Eight astrometric plates covering the time interval of 101 years were measured and a total of 141 astrometric cluster members identified. BV CCD-photometry was obtained for stars in an area $17\arcmin\times 17\arcmin$ centered on the cluster. Altogether 33 stars were considered to be cluster members with high reliability by two criteria. The estimated age of NGC 1513 is $2.54\times 10^8\,$ years
