... In order to obtain a quantitative estimate of the accuracy and reliability of our data reduction procedures and results, we have performed a data reduction pipeline based on the following steps: i) define a set of simulated HST-like images with synthetic globular cluster stellar distributions, which provide the ``true'' data for comparison; ii) convolve these images with appropriate assumptions of PSF and noise in order to construct simulated `` observed '' ... It contains 470 stars. b) ...
