Abstract
It's a good thing that we're starting to meet every four years rather than every five. There has been tremendous progress in understanding the properties and evolution of central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPN) since the last meeting in Innsbruck in 1992. Much of the credit is due to new spectra and images obtained at observatories that weren't even in existence four years ago. Table 1 lists most of the space observatories used by astronomers reporting at this symposium. The ones marked with the asterisk are new to this conference. The double asterisks for the Hubble Space Telescope instruments remind us that the telescope was repaired in December 1993. The reference gives the identification of the poster paper given at this meeting. We can look forward to similar improvements in ground-based observatories to be reported at the next meeting.
