MetaGuide: M4 globular cluster in i'r'g' colors, with Atik 383L+ and EdgeHD 11 with reducer on CGE-Pro

This is in semi-false Sloan colors, with i' -> red, r' -> green, g' -> blue. This gives a wider spectral range with no gaps. The colors were calibrated using custom code and UCAC4 field stars with AMASS Sloan photometry. The color calibration was deterministic and Photoshop CS6 was used only to apply levels. The result is consistent with a mostly red/orange cluster, corresponding to a very old system.
