The authors analyse photoelectric visual and ultraviolet observations of the compact planetary nebula Sw St 1. The electron density, determined from the C III λλ1907/1909 line ratio, is Ne = (1.1±0.1)×105cm-3, consistent with the high emission measure and high critical frequency determined from observations of the thermal radio emission. The C/O abundance ratio in the nebula is found to be N(C)/N(O) = 0.72±0.1, i.e. the envelope is oxygen rich, as suggested by the identification of the silicate feature in the 8 - 13 μm infrared spectrum. Difficulties remain in accurately determining the reddening constant to the nebula and its electron temperature.
