Hi Lew, Mark and the others,
I agree with Mark; the structure of NGC 1535 is truly remarkably
symetrical: a very regular and typical double shell PN. I remember an
observation through a 22": central star in the very center, internal
spherical bright zone in the middle of a fainter shell, quite round.
The PN you remember as been reddish is (maybe) IC 418, not to far in the sky.
I will post a 17.5" obs of N1535 soon.
clear skies, yann.
