I took these pics withy 8 inch lx90 a few years ago now
.
I picked both out of the sky as about equal brightness to my eyeball in my garden.
Once i looked at them in the eyepiece, I realised that the overall light was similar but the gradient on tuc 47 was really pronounced.
Though I can't get over the awe I felt watching omega centauri in my own kit.
It was a life changer.
