The central star of the planetary nebula VV 47 (164 + 31 deg 1, occasionally known as NGC 2474-5) exhibits an optical spectrum similar to those of the pulsating PG1159-035 stars with somewhat broader absorption lines than those of the pulsating nucleus of the planetary nebula K1-16. Broad absorption features of He II, C IV, and O VI are observed, with narrow emission reversals in some cases. UBV photometry confirms that this is a very hot star, with little reddening. The similarity to the PG1159-035 variables suggests a distance of 1060 (+1000,-600)pc. The present results are consistent with the distance, Zanstra temperature, and luminosity estimates derived by Kaler (1978).
