d~ 6 Kpc Date , Leiden Ter 5 host two different populations (confirmed by spectroscopic follow-up): 1)one old (12Gyr) and metal-poor trace the early stage of the bulge formation 2)one young (6Gyr) and metal-rich could contain important information about the metal-enrichment and the dynamical evolution.

Deep and accurate CMDs are a feasible but not trivial target We need to update software program that can account for a strong PSF variation when NGS do not allow a uniform correction. Normal packages do prefer to work with uniform correction even with low Strehl ratio. (updating for DAOPHOT, Stetson et al 1994, STARFINDER, Diolaiti et al. 2000). Increase the sky coverage (e.g. laser guide stars, other ideas?). Stability of the correction: reproducibility of the images to increase the S/N ratio. Conclusions from MAD
Overtaking MAD: GSAOI/GeMS ★ GeMS pixel scale is 0.02”/pix --> comparable to MAD, 0.028”/pix. ★ GeMS FOV=83” --> comparable to MAD, camera=60”, FOV corrected 2x2’ ★ GeMS (NGS, R≤15.5mag) has a larger SKY coverage than MAD (NGS, R≤13.5mag) Date , Florence GeMS4ELT NGC1851 d~12Kpc E(B-V)~0.02 ~

Date , Florence Proper Motions ★ Foreground cleaning using Proper Motions of field and cluster stars. ★ Systemic Proper motions: measurements of the tangential velocity (~10 km/sec for distances ≤10 Kpc) PM~0.0002”/year over 5-10 years PM=1-2 mas ~ the accuracy on each star -> σ PM /√N thousand of stars per GGC. possibility to trace GGCs in space and in time (using cluster ages) providing a link to their birthplace, thus constraints on the formation scenario of the Galaxy. ★ Internal Proper Motions: measure of the radial velocity dispersion profile and/or detection of high velocity stars very close to the center (as in our Galactic Center). with high accuracy (σ PM ~1-2 mas) we could obtain constraints on the occurrence of IMBH (M~10 4 Mo) in the center of Globular Clusters.
