Abstract
We present HST NIC3 photometry of metal-rich globular clusters Palomar 6, Liller 1 and 47 Tuc (NGC 104). We discuss the interstellar reddening law for the HST NICMOS F110W/F160W photometric system which depends on the temperature of the source. The distance moduli and interstellar reddening values for Palomar 6 and Liller 1 are estimated by comparing the magnitudes and colors of RHB stars in the clusters with those of 47 Tuc. We obtain <TEX>$(m-M)_0=14.48$</TEX>mag and E(B-V)=1.34mag for Palomar 6 and <TEX>$(m-M)_0=15.17$</TEX>mag and E(B-V)=2.50 mag for Liller 1.
