Star clusters present an excellent tool for studying not only galaxies, but also individual stars. The aim of this project is to create a fully automatic procedure capable of precise computation of all four cluster parameters (distance, reddening, age, metallicity) based on the approach described in Pöhnl & Paunzen (2010). The procedure will be applied to the cluster data available from different archives, and used to derive an improved and homogeneous set of cluster parameters.
