Magnitudes have been measured for 44 faint central stars of planetary nebulae by imaging the star and nebula of a CCD detector. The nebula is suppressed by using a continuum filter. The remaining nebular continuum is then subtracted as background as long as the star can be clearly seen. This is true in 41 of the 44 cases observed. Zanstra temperatures are calculated from the observed magnitudes, and discussed.
