Q Cygni (Nova Cygni 1876) is one of the oldest old novae with a long orbital period of 10.08 hours and spectroscopic peculiarities in the optical including the presence of variable wind outflow revealed by optical P Cygni profiles in the He I lines and Halpha (Kafka et al.2003). There has never been a far UV spectroscopic analysis of this system. Therefore, we have carried out a synthetic spectral analysis of a far ultraviolet IUE archival spectrum of Q Cygni using our optically thick, steady state, accretion disk models and model white dwarf photospheres. We report the results of our spectroscopic analysis and compare the physical parameters we derive with those of other old novae.
