Scientific paper

A population of bright, blue objects around NGC 1275 was detected in an initial PC exposure. These my be luminous globular clusters at an early stage of evolution. Deeper exposures will be used to probe the luminosity function of the objects, and to improve measurements of brightnesses and colors. A medium band picture will confirm that the objects are not emission line sources. Short exposures will be obtained to study the galaxy nucleus. PSF observations will be made to get better photometry, to check if the objects are spatially resolved, and to allow deconvolotuion of the structure in the underlying galaxy light.
