Description:
    We examine new observations of NGC 2808, taken with the far-UV and
    near-UV cameras on the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on
    board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).
    Images were obtained in the far-UV crystal quartz (FUV/F25QTZ; pivot
    wavelength 1600{AA}), near-UV 2700{AA} continuum (NUV/F25CN270), and
    clear CCD (CCD/50CCD; pivot wavelength 5850{AA}) modes, employing a
    cross-shaped dither pattern.

Note (1): The relative astrometry is very accurate (tenths of a 0.025arcsec
    STIS pixel), but the absolute astrometry is subject to a 1-2 arcsec
    uncertainty (associated with the position of the guide stars). Objects
    identified as [BSL2001] JHHMMSS.ssss+DDMMSS.sss in Simbad
