We have launched a program of UBVR CCD photometric investigations of new clusters detected in the 2mass catalog based on an automatic detection method, which uses a convolution with a density function. Three new clusters, Koposov 12, Koposov 53 and Koposov 77 were observed in UBVI with the 104 cm Sampurnanand telescope located at ARIES, Manora Peak, India. Their ages, distances, color excesses and metallicities have been derived using photometric data.
