We investigate the properties of objects in the Subaru Deep Field (SDF),using public catalogs constructed from images in several optical passbands.Using a small subset of objects most likely to be stars, we construct a stellarlocus in three-dimensional color space. We then compare the position of allobjects relative to this locus to create larger samples of stars in the SDFwith rough spectral types. The number counts of stars defined in this way areconsistent with those of current models of the Galaxy.
