We present CCD photometry in the Johnson V, Kron-Cousins I and Washington system CT1 passbands for NGC2324, a rich open cluster located near the Galactic anticentre direction. We believe that the high discrepancy in the basic cluster parameters derived in previous studies, particularly in the cluster metal content, warrants their redetermination on the basis of more reliable data.
