We have analysed absolutely calibrated 3500–8900Å AAT spectrophotometry of the WC10 central star CPD–56°8032. After dereddening by E(B–V) = 0.68, the few line-free portions of the stellar continuum are well fitted by the 18000K blackbody which corresponds to the nebular H I Zanstra temperature. The Wolf-Rayet wind terminal velocity is sufficiently low (210–230 km s−1) that it is possible to resolve virtually every fine structure component of every multiplet of C II, C III and O I listed by the NBS Multiplet Tables for this wavelength region.
