We present an analysis of super star cluster populations using WFPC 2 on the Hubble Space Telescope for two starburst galaxies: NGC 7673 and Markarian 8. Both galaxies are luminious and have signatures of massive star formation, such as emission-line dominated optical spectra. Their optical appearances are highly disturbed, featuring prominent knots of intense star formation. Using HST F255W, F555W, and F814W images, we perform aperture photometry for a select sample of star clusters in different regions of each galaxy, and compare the results with evolutionary population synthesis models.
