NGC 6207. - Only one
6563 photograph was obtained
of this galaxy so
that the HII regions identified have not been checked by an OFF
H
comparison. The dust sketched in the drawing was identified from a
200-inch 103 a-E photograph kindly loaned by Dr. Allan Sandage.
Weedman and Carswell
(1974)
have recently commented on the "apparent
stellar nucleus of the galaxy" and by photometric (apertures 8" and
15") and spectroscopic (trailed spectrum with slit 2" x 2".5 entrance
aperture) means have confirmed that the apparent stellar nucleus is a
foreground star. Presumably these authors are referring to the
relatively bright star marked by a cross in the drawing. On the basis
of the spiral distribution of dust and on the intensity distribution
on the H plate, it appears that
the true nucleus of this late-type Sc spiral is some 2" south of the star.
