Abstract: LSE 234 is a sub-dwarf located at about 400 parsecs. We obtained FUSE spectra with very good signal-to-noise ratio, allowing accurate abundance measurements. We find high values for D/H, D/N and D/O in this sight line probing material well beyond the Local Bubble. This is in contrast with published measurements at such distances (Hebrard & Moos 2003, Wood et al. 2004). This favors the hypothesis of D/H inhomogeneities outside the Local Bubble.
