The spectra of five systems with candidate planetary nebulae in the wavelength range between 4800 Å and 5100 Å. The top three panels show confirmed globular clusters; the bottom two panels show objects that may be globulars. To enhance the visibility of the emission lines, the spectrum of a template globular cluster has been subtracted from each object. The y-axis represents counts; to convert to relative flux, note that the system response at Hβ is roughly a factor of 1.46 less than that at [O iii] λ5007. For each candidate, the [O iii] line is at least twice the strength of Hβ.
