It is very important to know the distribution in magnitude and color of the field stars from the Galaxy towards the different extragalactic objects. In this work are compared real photometrical data with the model predictions. The observational B-V, V color-magnitude diagram for the area of 5.6×5.6 arcmin situated 30 arcmin north of the center of the galaxy IC 10 is compared with synthetic color-magnitude diagrams based on the model of the Milky Way galaxy (Robin & Creze 1986). Model with appropriated reddening AV = 1.2 mag/kpc describes in the best way the observations. Despite the relatively good result there is about 20% more model stars. This is a significant difference when we talk about the luminosity function or IMF for instance. In these cases we have to get "a comparison field" near to the object of research.
