Scientific paper

We propose a photometric study of the lower main sequences of Omega Cen and 47 Tuc, down to the region of the H-burning limit, which the deeper faintness limit of ACS will allow us to reach. For the faintest stars, proper-motion separation of cluster from field is essential; hence we include Cycle 13 observations. The resulting color-magnitude diagrams {CMDs} and luminosity functions {LFs} will allow study of stars in a mass regime and metallicity that have never been accessible before, and will serve as an important check on theories of the structure of low-mass stars. These are the 2nd-epoch observations.
