Comparison of a TESS Sector 10 FFI 40 × 40 pixel cutout (left) and ground-based Digitized Sky Survey image (right) for a representative cluster target. The red plus symbols are the 159 E. L. Hunt & S. Reffert (2023) cluster members in the image, and the blue diamonds are 32 variables included in the Gaia DR3 variability catalog (L. Eyer et al. 2023). Clearly, the TESS pixels are large enough to include contributions from several sources, including background variables.
