The value of k is 1. 1-1. 7 and depends on G. Stars with moderately large values of RUWE can still provide useful parallaxes albeit with larger values of k. We give accurate and precise Gaia EDR3 distances to the six GCs and for the specific case of 47 Tuc we are able to beat the angular covariance limit and derive a high-precision distance of 4. 53+-0. 06 kpc.
