Abstract: We fit various colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of the high-latitude Galactic globular clusters NGC,5024 (M53), NGC,5053, NGC,5272 (M3), NGC,5466, and NGC,7099 (M30) by isochrones from the Dartmouth Stellar Evolution Database and Bag of Stellar Tracks and Isochrones for $alpha$-enrichment [$alpha$/Fe]$=+0.4$. For the CMDs, we use data sets from {it Hubble Space Telescope}, {it Gaia}, and other sources utilizing, at least, 25 photometric filters for each cluster. We obtain the following characteristics with their statistic uncertainties for NGC,5024, NGC,5053, NGC,5272, NGC,5466, and NGC,7099, respectively: metallicities [Fe/H]$=-1.93pm0.02$, $-2.08pm0.03$, $-1.60pm0.02$, $-1.95pm0.02$, and $-2.07pm0.04$ dex with their systematic uncertainty 0.1 dex; ages $13.00pm0.11$, $12.70pm0.11$, $11.63pm0.07$, $12.15pm0.11$, and $12.80pm0.17$ Gyr with their systematic uncertainty 0.8 Gyr; distances (systematic uncertainty added) $18.22pm0.06pm0.60$, $16.99pm0.06pm0.56$, $10.08pm0.04pm0.33$, $15.59pm0.03pm0.51$, and $8.29pm0.03pm0.27$ kpc; reddenings $E(B-V)=0.023pm0.004$, $0.017pm0.004$, $0.023pm0.004$, $0.023pm0.003$, and $0.045pm0.002$ mag with their systematic uncertainty 0.01 mag; extinctions $A_mathrm{V}=0.08pm0.01$, $0.06pm0.01$, $0.08pm0.01$, $0.08pm0.01$, and $0.16pm0.01$ mag with their systematic uncertainty 0.03 mag, which suggest the total Galactic extinction $A_mathrm{V}=0.08$ across the whole Galactic dust to extragalactic objects at the North Galactic pole. The horizontal branch morphology difference of these clusters is explained by their different metallicity, age, mass-loss efficiency, and loss of low-mass members in the evolution of the core-collapse cluster NGC,7099 and loose clusters NGC,5053 and NGC,5466.arXiv:2404.14797v1 Announce Type: new
