Spectrophotometric observations at the coude focus of the 200-inch (5-m) Hale telescope were made to investigate the point-to-point intensity changes in the planetary nebula NGC 6543. The observations covered the blue and visible regions of the line spectra; some aspects of the visible regions have been examined by Boeshaar. The observed Balmer decrement seems to fit well with the prediction of Brocklehurst's theory. No indication of a large amount of interstellar extinction has been observed and for an electron temperature of 9000 K the extinction might very well be negligible. Significant density fluctuations (and presumably temperature fluctuations) are indicated.
