Küstner (1921) catalogued K648 in his photographic survey of M15, but it was not recognized as a PN central star until Pease (1928) discovered the nebula, denoted Ps1. As one of very few PN known in globular clusters — it was the only known until Gillet et al. (1989) reported the discovery of a second in M22 and Jacoby et al. (this meeting) announced two new but very faint objects — K648 offers one of the better opportunities to study the post-AGB evolution of extreme Pop. II stars. Previous investigations of the nebula and star (Adams et al. 1984; Peña, Torres-Peimbert, & Ruiz 1992; Heber, Dreizler, & Werner 1993) all concluded that the stellar temperature is slightly less than 40000 K. Heber et al. also concluded the photospheric He and C abundances were 3 × and 5 × higher than solar.
