NGC1535

I "found" this planetary (NGC1535 in Eridanus)while leafing through Kepple&Sanner's observing guide. I usually pay very little attention to Eridanus, since most of it is located too far south for me. However 1535 is within range, and from the descriptive notes is seems to range high on the list of the most impressive planetaries in the sky.
Have anyone observed this object? How does it compare with objects like M57, M76 or NGC7662/6543?
