Description
We present wide-field ground based photometry for the Galactic globular cluster M92. Data were collected in the SDSS bands (u',g',r',i',z') with the MegaCam@CFHT. We confirm the occurrence of cluster stars beyond the tidal radius. Moreover, we find that the ratio between the Horizontal Branch (HB) stars and Main Sequence (MS) stars across the turn-off region clearly decreases by a factor of two when moving from the centre to the outermost regions of the cluster.
