  A growing number of close binary stars are being discovered among central
stars of planetary nebulae. Recent and ongoing surveys are finding new systems
and contributing to our knowledge of the evolution of close binary systems. The
push to find more systems was largely based on early discoveries which
suggested that 10 to 15% of all central stars are close binaries. One goal of
this series of papers is confirmation and classification of these systems as
close binaries and determination of binary system parameters. Here we provide
time-resolved multi-wavelength photometry of the central star of Abell 65 as
well as further analysis of the nebula and discussion of possible
binary--nebula connections. Our results for Abell 65 confirm recent work
showing that it has a close, cool binary companion, though several of our model
parameters disagree with the recently published values. With our longer time
baseline of photometric observations from 1989--2009 we also provide a more
precise orbital period of 1.0037577 days.
