Color‐magnitude diagrams for stars in NGC 1818 in the three WFC chips. Magnitudes are in the HST passbands and have been dereddened assuming ﹩E( B-V) =0.05﹩. Stars above ﹩V_{555}\sim 17.5﹩ are saturated. The boxes indicate the range of colors and magnitudes in which we might expect to find white dwarfs. All points in these boxes are spurious detections except the filled circle, which is a candidate young white dwarf. Poisson errors in the ﹩( U_{336}-V_{555}) ﹩ colors are shown. Much of the scatter redward from the main sequence at ﹩V_{555}< 21﹩ is caused by the presence of binary stars.
