Fig. 1.
Spatial distribution of 56 observed GCs. Each box represents a field view of 1.5° × 1.5°. The large ellipse has a semimajor axis of 2° (27 kpc), representing a disc with an inclination of 77.5° and a position angle of 38° (Kent 1989). The M 31 optical disc lies well within this ellipse. The two small ellipses are the D25 isophotes of NGC 205 (northwest) and M32 (southeast).
