  We aim to study dust properties of massive star forming regions in the outer
Galaxy, in a direction opposite to the Galactic center. We present observations
of six outer Galaxy point sources IRAS 01045+6505, 01420+6401, 05271+3059,
05345+3556, 20222+3541 and 20406+4555, taken with the Submillimeter Common-User
Bolometer Array (SCUBA) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) at 450 and
850 micron. Single temperature greybody models are fitted to the Spectral
Energy Distribution of the detected sub-mm cores to derive dust temperature,
dust emissivity index and optical depth at 250 micron. The observed radial
intensity profiles of the sub-mm cores were fitted with power laws to derive
the indices describing the density distribution. At a resolution of 15" all six
IRAS point sources show multiple emission peaks. Only four out of fourteen
detected sub-mm cores show associated mid-infrared emission. For the sub-mm
cores we derive dust temperatures of 32+-5 K and dust emissivity indices
between 0.9 and 2.5. The density profiles of the sub-mm cores can be fitted by
a single power law distribution with indices -1.5+-0.3, with most cores showing
an index of -1.5. This is consistent with most observations of massive star
forming regions and supports predictions of models of star formation which
consider non-thermal support against gravitational collapse.
