Abstract

A long term program of precision photoelectric UBVRI photometry has been combined with AAVSO archival data for the hot, R CrB-type hydrogen deficient star and proto-planetary nebula, V348 Sgr. CCD data also are described. Since V348 Sgr is one of only four hot R CrB stars, it and other group members deserve continued attention by observers.
