VLT R-band image of the Condor galaxy (NGC 6872). Contour levels are GALEX FUV at 0.002, 0.010, and 0.020 MJy sr⁻¹. Circles show the 17 regions analyzed (diameter of 32''). The optical image does not cover the entire field of the UV image. At the distance of 65 Mpc, the diameter of each region (32'') corresponds to a (projected) physical distance of 10 kpc. Color coding represents the trend of their SED colors as depicted in Figure 3 and described in Section 3.1.
