Scientific paper

We present initial results from a HST/WFC3 calibration project to understand how well stellar metallicities can be determined from multiband photometry that includes filters specifically designed for helping to derive stellar parameters. We report on observations taken in a suite of 11 filters: F336W, F390M, F390W, F395N, F410M, F467M, F547M, F555W, F814W, F110W, and F160W. Data in these filters was obtained in five Milky Way clusters -- M92, NGC6752, NGC104, NGC5927, and NGC6791 -- that span a large range in metallicity. The resulting stellar sequences are compared with model predictions, and results on the most promising metallicity indicators are discussed.
