We have obtained CCD BVRI colour-magnitude diagrams for a series of disk globular clusters, improving parameters and detecting a new one: Lyngå 7. Using the magnitude difference between turn-off and horizontal branch Δ(TO-HB) as an age discriminator, and their spatial distribution we compare old disk open clusters, young halo globular clusters, and metal-rich disk globular clusters, obtaining clues to the Galaxy formation process.
