| NGC 1385 (0335-2440) -- This is a disturbed-looking Scd galaxy. The field of view includes part of some large structure, possibly the western spiral arm of the galaxy, that is bright in the UV and includes compact sources and diffuse emission. The UV-dark northern portion of the image is at the end of a large dusty spiral arm that crosses the northern part of the galaxy in optical images. The nuclear position is difficult to determine in optical images, and the bright knot on the western side of the UV image could be the galaxy nucleus.
