Caption: Figure 4.

Shown are two example fields of stars that passed the quality cuts. The brown is a field close to the GC with significant extinction and reddening, whereas the orange is a field away from the Galactic plane where extinction and reddening have a lesser effect. The boxes enclose stars used in fitting the luminosity function to isolate the Red Clump outlined in Section 3.
