Abstract
Recent observations of the [WN] central star of the planetary nebula LMC-N66, combined with previous data show that the star has been slowly fading, after its violent LBV-type outburst occurred in 1994. The present stellar brightness ( m[V] ~ 18.1 mag) and the probable mass loss rate are similar to the values observed in 1990. Nebular data from long-slit STIS-HST observations allow us to analyze some nebular characteristics.
