Peter,

I'm probably out on a limb here, but images of 47 Tucanae resolved to the core reduce this splendid globular to a run of the mill object.

Visually 47 Tucanae has a striking central condensation.

Astronomers classify globulars according to the degree of central condensation, astroimaging has essentially broken down this distinction.

It is still a fine image however.

Regards

Steven
