Hess diagram with data from SDSS b>80 degree

A Hess diagram plots the relative density of occurrence of stars at differing color–magnitude positions of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram for a given galaxy. The diagram is named after R. Hess who originated it in 1924.[1] Its use dates back to at least 1948.[2]
