I present a preliminary analysis of three UV images of the Virgo cluster region, obtained by the FAUST experiment (Bowyer et al. 1993) in April 1992. FAUST is a wide-field imaging telescope covering an 8° area with effective resolution of 3′.5. The experiment was constructed by the Berkeley Space Astronomy Group together with the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique Spatiale of the CNES. It operated on board the Shuttle during the mission ATLAS-1.
