Description

NGC 1535 is a very (visually) small 9th magnitude planetary nebula in the constellation Eridanus. It has been nicknamed Cleopatra's Eye. NGC 1535 has a bright blue disk with a diameter of about 30 arcseconds, and a well concentrated central area surrounded by a misty outer ring. This fine bright, bluish planetary displays two shells surrounding a bright central star. The 20" inner shell is bright with a dark ring immediately surrounding the central star. The outer shell is much fainter and uneven in brightness extending to 35".
