F850LP (z) image of VCC 798 with diffuse objects and a ﹩\mu _{z,\mathrm{galaxy}\,}=19﹩ mag arcsec⁻² isophote overplotted. Inside this ellipse, we do not find any diffuse clusters, but this is likely because our detection efficiency is rapidly becoming low, and not necessarily because of any intrinsic deficit of clusters toward the galaxy center.
