NGC 40 is an extended, very inhomogeneous planetary nebula, with a WC8 central star. Very discrepant determinations exist in the literature for the extinction towards this object and the temperature of its nucleus. We review here the various methods which can be used to derive these quantities, discussing the assumptions underlying each method and their inherent limitatons, and the uncertainties that arise when they are applied to this particular object. The results are compared to the values which we derive from far UV spectrophotometry: E(B-V) = 0.50 and T* ≍ 90000K.
