Scientific paper

Surface photometry in five wavebands (UBVRI) of two southern active elliptical galaxies, NGC 1316 and 1052, obtained with the recently commissioned RGO CCD camera on the AAT is presented. The speed of the CCD camera makes it possible to take multiband exposures in quick succession, enhancing stability of the conditions. The linearity and stability of the CCD is demonstrated, and it is shown that surface photometry is accurate over a wide dynamic range. The morphology of the dust lane in NGC 1316, and the nature of the very red core and a diffuse dust lane in NGC 1052 are discussed.
