Creating a Colour-Magnitude-Diagram

In graduate school one of the things I spent a lot of my time on was creating colour-magnitude-diagrams (CMDs). These diagrams are extremely useful in studying stellar populations, making models of stellar evolution and for use as redundancy in cross checking other theories in astronomy. Below is a post of my first reddit post that was extremely well received and made the front page of reddit. The reddit post is here.
