DSS B-band image of NGC 1058 with GALEX FUV contours (red) and WHISP (van der Hulst et al. 2001) H I contours (purple) overlaid. As one can easily see, the ultraviolet disk as well as the H I disk of NGC 1058 are both much more (~3 times for the FUV and  ~5 times for the H I disk) extended than the optically visible disk. Given the fact that SN 1969L is located well within this FUV disk (position marked with two ticks), the most likely assumption would be that its progenitor is not a HVS but a massive product of the ongoing star formation which is traced by the FUV emission at this locus.
