Abstract
The Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 was used to image at high resolution the core region of the nearby, heavily obscured massive elliptical galaxy Maffei 1. We report on the discovery of 19 diffuse objects in the WFPC2 field that are likely to be globular clusters associated with Maffei 1. We present some preliminary data on the luminosities, colors, and sizes of these candidates.
