In a survey for galactic plane UV-excess objects, a very hot (T about 100,000 K) helium-rich white dwarf is discovered. The object is spectroscopically similar to the pulsating PG 1159 class of stars, with narrow emission lines of He II, probably C IV, and possibly C III/N III, although there is no trace of carbon absorptions. Not all features have positive identifications. This object appears to be an old PG 1159 star, having ceased pulsations during evolution toward a more typical DO white dwarf.
