Wow a PN hidden within the Cluster nice target Jorge. Can you tell me if the PN is part of the cluster or is it in the forefront?

It is part of the cluster, Carlos.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messier_15

"M15 also contains Pease 1, the first planetary nebula discovered within a globular cluster[11] in 1928. Just three others have been found in globular clusters since then."


http://messier.seds.org/more/m015_h2.html

"The pinkish object to the upper left of the cluster's core is a gas cloud surrounding a dying star. Known as Kuestner 648, this was the first planetary nebula to be identified in a globular cluster. In 1928, F. G. Pease, working at the 100-inch telescope of California's Mount Wilson Observatory, photographed the spectrum of K 648 and discovered the telltale bright emission of a nebular gas cloud rather than a normal star. In the ensuing 70 years, only three more planetary nebulae have been discovered in globular clusters."

To identify and locate the PN inside mine, I used that photo. The PN is the bluish, lower left of the core of the cluster:
