Description

With it's glittering thousands of stars, the great 47 Tuc cluster is second only tro mighty Omega Cen.
But they are strikingly different, 47 Tuc shows almost a starlike core, while Omega has a rather flat star distribution.

Moreover, when I can see both of them to compare, I know I am at an intersting place :-)

At right upper side there is another globular, unusually strong distorted, NGC121 - it's part of the nearby Small Magellanic Cloud.
