A science case predicts that HWO with a 0.015 arcsecond, Nyquist-sampled optical camera can resolve stars below the oldest main-sequence turnoff at 5 Mpc, below the red clump at 20 Mpc, and luminous stars at 50 Mpc.

Resolving Individual Stars in Nearby Large Galaxies with the Habitable Worlds Observatory
A science case predicts that HWO with a 0.015 arcsecond, Nyquist-sampled optical camera can resolve stars below the oldest main-sequence turnoff at 5 Mpc, below the red clump at 20 Mpc, and luminous stars at 50 Mpc.
