The young open star cluster M25 ( IC 4725 ) is located in the direction of the galactic center in a crowded region , near much irregular absorption features on Sagittarius arm . This cluster has some difficult observing problems due to its southern location . The mass data available in the literature have been gathered to reinvestigate this cluster using most photometric tools to determine its main photometric parameters . This system is found to be at a distance of 600 pc from the sun ; distance of -52.82 pc from the galactic plane ; and the median age is 9.45 x 10 ^ { 7 } yr. More than 220 stars with mean reddening of 0.50 mag and absorption of 1.62 mag are found within the cluster .
