Description:

M15 is a globular cluster in the Pegasus region, and has the unique distinction of being one of only four globular clusters to house a planetary nebula - Pease 1. It's a little tricky to see the PN in the final image as it is located in a particularly bright area near the core of the globular cluster, but it outshines most of the blue stragglers and is slightly shifted towards red.
