statistical subtractions

I worked on the weekend on statistical subtraction of color-magnitude diagrams and proper motion distributions in and out of globular clusters observed by SDSS. I am trying to assess the possibility of measuring proper motions of clusters of stars statistically. The challenge is to subtract the foreground correctly; since in general the foreground is populous, the results depend strongly on how you subtract it.
