ABSTRACT We present high-resolution observations of the super--star clusters in the nearby irregular galaxy NGC 1569, obtained with the High Resolution Channel of the Adcanced Camera for Surveys on board the Hubble Space Telescope. We show images with a scale of 0.018"/pixel resolution which allow to solve for the first time the morfological structure of the double central cluster NGC1569A and of the other SSC NGC1569B. The size, mass, and luminosity of these superclusters confirm that these objects could be young globulars, reinforcing previous conclusion. Lucy deconvolution of the image allow to resolve the stellar components of these cluster and to measure the Upper end of the Luminosity Function.
