  We present images from the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope of the Abell 1795
cluster of galaxies. We compare the cD galaxy morphology and photometry of
these data with those from existing archival and published data. The addition
of a far--UV color helps us to construct and test star formation model
scenarios for the sources of UV emission. Models of star formation with rates
in the range $\sim5-20M_{\sun}$yr$^{-1}$ indicate that the best fitting models
are those with continuous star formation or a recent ($\sim4$ Myr old) burst
superimposed on an old population. The presence of dust in the galaxy,
dramatically revealed by HST images complicates the interpretation of UV data.
However, we find that the broad--band UV/optical colors of this cD galaxy can
be reasonably matched by models using a Galactic form for the extinction law
with $E_{B-V}=0.14$. We also briefly discuss other objects in the large UIT
field of view.
