Ultraviolet photometric observations of IC 418 taken with the Netherlands Astronomical Satellite (ANS) indicate variability in the central star brightness. The variations occurring on the time scales of 5 hours are only 4% at 3300 Å but increase to about 15% at 1550 Å. The observations were not made frequently enough to determine a periodicity, if one exists. There are also 5–10% changes in brightness observed in A78 and NGC 6543, these are probably due to spectral changes in the central star spectra. About 10% type variations were found in VV 1–7 and He 2–131 but their interpretation is not clear.
