All superb Rodney.

Question: Omega Centauri and Crackerjack are in the Milky Way, hence lots of field stars. 47 Tucanae is far from the Milky way, hence few field stars. So far so good. But the Pavo globular is also far from the Milky Way, yet there seem to be lots of field stars. Is that because the Pavo globular is fainter than say 47 Tucanae, and "exposing" to see the globular at its best brings out more field stars?

Best,
Mike
