Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) observations of the D/H ratio in the two velocity components towards G191-B2B are consistent with 1.5 ± 0.1 × 10−5 and do not agree with the values derived using the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS) data. We present some new work on the G191-B2B sightline, and the results we obtain are consistent with those of Sahu et al. (1999).
