Pease 1 was the first planetary nebula found in a globular cluster,
in 1928 by Francis Gladheim Pease.
It had been previously cataloged as a star by
Friedrich Kustner (1921).
Stan Moore has been able to image Pease 1 in an RGB image obtained with
a ST-7 CCD camera on a 12.5-inch RC telescope. Instead of "normal" red,
he used a 10 nm H-Alpha filter to emphasize nebular emission. Thus, the
small planetary nebula appears as a red dot in the image (just above the
globular's core). Click on the image to see a full-size version.
Leos Ondra has provided
more information on this planetary
nebula.
NASA's and ESA's Hubble Space Telescopes has
investigated Pease 1 in M15
