Caption: Figure 8.

Same as Figure 7, but for NGC 5897. At the depth of DELVE DR2, our model suggests that the underlying tidal tail of this GC would only barely be detectable, even in the presence of no Milky Way foreground (middle panel). At the full LSST depth, the same model suggests that the stream ought to be detectable in the presence of no Milky Way foreground. The addition of a Milky Way foreground model in both cases masks the underlying stream and leaves only the extratidal envelope detectable.
