Abstract
The determination of the luminosities of planetary nebula central star s from H beta nebular fluxes is investigated. A correlation is obtaine d with the luminosities derived from independent stellar parameters. A n average scaling factor is determined for H beta luminosities of opti cally thick nebulae, as well as correlations of this parameter with th e Zanstra He II and H I temperatures.
