We studied the structure of two old open clusters, NGC 1245 and NGC 2506, from a wide and deep VI photometry data acquired using the CFH12K CCD camera at Canada?France?Hawaii Telescope. We derived the physical parameters using detailed theoretical isochrone fittings using χ2 minimization. We devised a new method for assigning cluster membership probability to individual stars using both spatial positions and positions in the colour?magnitude diagram. From analyses of the luminosity functions at several cluster-centric radii and the radial surface density profiles derived from stars with different luminosity ranges, we found that the two clusters are dynamically relaxed to drive significant mass segregation and evaporation of some fraction of low-mass stars. There seems to be a signature of tidal tail in NGC 1245 but the signal is too low to be confirmed. We will discuss the halo and the tidal tail structure in the open cluster in this talk.
