Abstract
Existing methods for age estimation of open clusters are discussed. Most of the observed open clusters (except extremely young and old) contain 50-90% unevolved Main-Sequence stars. Possible difficulties encountered in estimating the actual age of an unevolved Main-Sequence star are discussed. For a relatively reliable cluster age estimation only a small percentage of cluster members are suitable. The effect of unevolved Main-Sequence stars on open cluster age estimates using the modified method of isochromes is analyzed.
