We have started a photometric program to obtain Sloan u’g’r’i’z’ data of large field, nearby clusters to define the Zero Age Main Sequence. Historically these clusters have been used to define the UBVRI ZAMS and includeCluster Name, Diameter (arc min): (h Per 18'), (x Per 18'),(a Per, 300'),(Pleiades 120'),(Hyades 330'), (NGC 2244 29'),NGC 2264 39'), (NGC 2420 5'), (M 67 25'),(Coma Berenices 120'),(NGC 6611 6"), (III Cep 66'). To obtain the data we use a 203mm F/4.9 Orion reflector, which is piggy-backed to the RBO 60-cm telescope. A field of view of 45 arc minutes is achieved with our Apogee Alta U47-UV coated, back-illuminated Marconi CCD. Initial observations start in Fall 2006 and preliminary result will be presented.
