Results are reported for visual spectroscopy (3500 - 5000 A) and UBV, BVRI, and Stromgren photoelectric photometry of the eighth-magnitude star HD 192273, which has been suggested as a UV source at 500 A. It is shown that HD 192273 cannot be degenerate, but more likely appears to be a B-type horizontal-branch subdwarf or a slightly reddened main-sequence star. The data indicate atmospheric parameters in the neighborhood of an effective temperature of 27,000 K and log g 4.8, as well as a near-normal helium abundance. It is suggested that such a model could explain the UV observations if the intervening hydrogen density is very low (hydrogen column density less than 5 x 10 to the 17th power per sq cm).
