Abstract

The ISO and IUE spectra of the “elliptical” nebula Hu 1-2 are presented. These spectra are combined with new, high resolution spectra in the visual wavelength region to obtain a complete, extinction corrected, spectrum. The chemical composition of the nebula is then calculated and compared to previous determinations. The abundances determined are the lowest yet found in the analysis of ISO data. The evolutionary significance is discussed.
