Also, don't forget the seeing plays a considerable role in being able to resolve the core of those 2 great globs.

When the seeing is not good, it doesn't matter how much aperture you have, all the stars star to blur together and do not resolve well.

When the seeing is very good, you can push the power up to 250x or more and start to resolve the inner core starts.

It's also much more difficult with 47Tuc due to the more condensed core than omega centauri.
