Abstract: We observed the ultra-rapid rotator PZ Tel for one stellar rotation period starting 30 May 2003. The goals were to search for rotational modulation of the transition region lines, and to obtain good O VI line profiles, in order to measure the width of the broad underlying pedestal emission. We obtained optical photometry around the time of the FUSE observation. We detected the rotational modulation, in anti-phase with the optical modulation, as well as a small flare. The O VI line λ1032Å profile shows broad asymmetric wings.
