Caption: Figure 6.

Left panel: CMDs from four HST/WFC3 fields observed early in the survey. The field HD70 (orange points) was observed in a lower-extinction area of the footprint (see Figure 1). Field HD98 (red points) was observed at a higher-extinction sight line, closer to the galactic midplane. The variation (gradient) in extinction and reddening is apparent between the fields. Right panel: CMD for the field HD138 (blue points), with 2202 matched Gaia DR3 stars colored by Gaia G-band magnitude.
