I write to warn you about making C-M diagrams using MESA. Because of the
complexities of stellar atmospheres doing so requires careful attention to the
emergent spectrum. it is not a black body. Also, given that, calculating
magnitudes requires careful specification of the filter set. There are subtle
differences among the observatories. MESA is great for Rphotosphere
(suitably defined), L and hence Teff. But for magnitudes I use Baraffe
et al's (2015) work. Mike Simon
