These images comprise a subset of targets observed using the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT) during the ASTRO-1 mission on the Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-35) in December 1990. UIT obtained wide-field solar-blind linearized and calibrated images in the wavelength range 1200-3300Ã…. Its 40-arcminute field-of-view, in combination with a 3-arcsecond resolution, enable it to observe astronomical objects of large angular extent in single pointings. UIT observations include reflection nebulae, supernova remnants, globular clusters, Magellanic Cloud fields, nearby spiral, elliptical, and dwarf galaxies, and clusters of galaxies. In all, UIT took 821 exposures of 66 targets during the ASTRO-1 mission. This subset contains 106 images of 31 targets.
