Abstract: We determine the group of conformal automorphisms of the self-dual metrics on n#CP^2 due to LeBrun for n>2, and Poon for n=2. These metrics arise from an ansatz involving a circle bundle over hyperbolic three-space H^3 minus a finite number of points, called monopole points. We show that for n>2 connected sums, any conformal automorphism is a lift of an isometry of H^3 which preserves the set of monopole points. Furthermore, we prove that for n = 2, such lifts form a subgroup of index 2 in the full automorphism group, which we show is a semi-direct product (U(1) imes U(1)) imes D_4, the dihedral group of order 8.
