A preliminary analysis of International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) low-dispersion spectrograms of NGC 2346, obtained at various phases of the eclipsing nucleus, shows features typical of a high-excitation planetary nebula. Variations in line profiles, intensities, and stellar continuum are observed as a function of time. An orbital period of 16.0 days was determined from 1.8m(v) variations measured by the IUE Fine Error Sensor (FES) and agrees with the period derived from radial velocity measurements by Mendez.
