Valenti et al. (2010) published a near infra-red CM diagram (K, J-K) which is heavily contaminated by stars in the surrounding metal rich field population. When looking at stars within 40 arcsec of the cluster centre, they detected a blue HB. They used their data to derive a photometric [Fe/H] = -1.58, in good agreement with the [Fe/H]=-1.6 published by Stephans & Frogel (2004) and by Origlia & Rich (2004) from studies based on high-resolution IR spectroscopy. ========================================================================== References Origlia, L., Rich, R.
