Caption: Fig. 6.

R‐band image of the double‐barred galaxy NGC 3941, showing the outer bar. The dashed line shows the position angle of the bar as derived from ellipse fits—clearly misaligned with the bar. As with inner bars (Fig. 5), the position angles derived from ellipse fits must be treated with skepticism. The ellipse fits can be found in Fig. 24.
