NGC 1535
NGC 1535 is very similar to NGC 2392 in both structure and color. Through our telescope this bubble of gas appears to glow a pale neon aqua. Visually the central star can sometimes be difficult to see, but in the image its existence is quite certain. NGC 1535 is no less than 1500 light years away. Once you have seen NGC 6543, NGC 6826, and NGC 7662, be sure to swing by Eridanus for this little gem.
This image was taken as part of Advanced Observing Program (AOP) program at Kitt Peak Visitor Center during 2014.
