Based on the membership data retrieved from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), we have computed some parameters of the moving open cluster Ruprecht 147, like, vertex, velocity, distance, distance modulus, and center of the cluster. All of these aspects were carried out using an algorithm due to Sharaf et al. (2000), into which error estimates of these parameters will be established in closed analytical forms (e.g. standard and probable errors of the vertex coordinates, angular distance, velocity of the cluster, parallaxes of member stars, and distance of the cluster).
Finally, we compared our results with other published values, which is in good agreement.
