Does the density of the cluster make it impossible for Kepler to detect any planets orbiting the core stars? What would they look like, showered with radiation?

Now that's just epic.

If these telescopes are used in tandem at synchronized times, rather than always looking at different objects, it seems their usefulness could be enhanced. Well, they use long exposures/image stacking with Hubble already, using all three on a same point of interest would basically decrease the time...
