CCD images through broad band B, V, R and I filters were
obtained of the nine galaxies, using a thick-coated, frontside
illuminated blue-sensitive Tektronix (
) CCD
camera located at the Cassegrain focus of the 2.5 m Nordic
Optical Telescope (NOT) on La Palma, during the nights of 12 and
14 November 1990 (NGC 1068, NGC 3227, NGC 4151 and NGC 7469) and
25 and 26 December 1992 (Mrk 3, Mrk 78, Mrk 348, Mrk 573 and
NGC 1667). The pixel scale employed in each case was 0.20''
px
. Conditions were photometric on 14 November 1990 and
25 December 1992, with generally subarcsec seeing. On 12
November 1990 and 26 December 1992, conditions were poorer with
seeing 1.0 - 2.3''.
Table 1 gives details of the observations for each galaxy; it is formatted as follows: Column (1): the name of the galaxy; (2): the date of the observation; (3): the filter used, (4): integration time and (5): seeing during the observation. Field stars were present in the frames of NGC 7469, Mrk 3, Mrk 348, Mrk 573 and NGC 1667. For the other galaxies, seeing estimates were based on images of standard stars taken close in time before or after the galaxy observation.
