Description

The two best globular clusters viz. Omega Centauri and 47-Tucanae are both in the Southern sky. But which is better? For the duration of the corona virus epidemic I have taken refuge in beautiful New Zealand where at least I have a telescope and a very dark site to occupy myself. In a few months I should be able to get a good image of 47-Tucanae for comparison.
