We intend to map the differential extinction and remove their effects in a sample of clusters in the direction of the inner Galaxy using a new dereddening technique. These observations and their analyses will let us produce high quality color-magnitude diagrams of these poorly studied clusters that will allow us to determine these clusters' relative ages, distances and chemistry and to address important questions about the formation and the evolution of the inner Galaxy.
