A CM diagram published by Dotter et al. (2011), based on HST photometry, shows a prominent red HB. Harris (1996) lists [Fe/H] = -1.20 in the 2010 update to his catalogue. ======================================================================== References Dotter, A., Sarajedini, A., Anderson, J. 2011, ApJ, 738, 74 Harris, W.
