Morphological analysis of open clusters' properties - I. Properties' estimations

A sample of 160 UBVCCD observations of open star clusters near the galactic plane has been studied, and a catalogue of their properties obtained. The main photometrical properties have been re-estimated self consistently and the results have been compared with those of Lynga [Lynga, G., 1987.
