N66 (WS 35, SMP 83) is a Type I (He-N rich) PN in the LMC with a high ionization degree. It shows a bipolar morphology with a filamentary structure (Dopita et al. 1993). Its central star has shown very impressive changes, in short time scale, that have been investigated. Here we describe the history of these changes:
