Omega Centauri versus 47 Toucan

[Bertrand Laville]

Hi All,

To follow the hereabove message concerning Omega, I propose a comparison beetween the two most extraordinary globular clusters that are Omega Centauri and 47 Toucan.
To my mind, the comparison is as interesting as the two globulars are totally different: Omega is a monster, when 47 Toucan is a jewel.
Here is a sketch (and not an image ) with the two globulars at the same scale, seen from the same scope, 20" Obsession, and the same place, Tivoli lodge, Namibia.
