dc.description.abstractThe Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is in the process of being built at this moment, and is scheduled for first light in 2025. Mock images are simulated with the Python package SimCADO, which mimics the telescope and it’s instrument MICADO. The imaged objects are globular clusters of varying mass, size and distance. The images are analysed to quantify the expected performance of the telescope in this use case. The position measurements show good agreement with the model clusters. The magnitude accuracy is a strong function of both magnitude and radius: not unexpected in the crowded stellar fields of these clusters.en_US
