Abstract: The properties of principal null directions of a perturbed black hole are investigated. It shown that principal null directions are directly observable quantities characterizing the space-time. A definition of a perturbed space-time, generalizing that given by Stewart and Walker is proposed. This more general framework allows one to include descriptions of a given space-time other than by a pair $(M,g)$ where $M$ is a four-dimensional differential manifold and $g$ a Lorentz metric. Examples of alternative characterizations are the curvature representation of Karlhede and others, the Newman-Penrose representation or observable quantities involving principal null directions. The conditions are studied under which the various alternative choices of observables provide equivalent descriptions of the space-time.
