  ACO 3627 is a rich, nearby cluster of galaxies at the core of the Great
Attractor. At the low galactic latitude of b = -7.2 the galactic extinction is
significant. Nevertheless, its proximity makes it a prime target for studies of
environmental effects on its cluster members. Here, we report on a
multi-wavelength study of a Seyfert 1 galaxy at 30 arcminutes from the centre
of ACO 3627. Its Seyfert nature was discovered spectroscopically and confirmed
in X-rays. We have obtained B_J and R_C CCD photometry as well as J, H, K and L
aperture photometry at the SAAO, low and high resolution spectroscopy (ESO and
SAAO), 21 cm line observations (Parkes Observatory) and X-ray ROSAT PSPC data.
  The Seyfert 1 galaxy is of morphology SBa(r). It has a nearby companion (dS0)
but shows no signs of interaction. A consistent value for the galactic
extinction of A_B = 1.6 mag could be determined. The nucleus of the Seyfert is
very blue with a strong (B_J - R_C) colour gradient in the inner 2.5 arcsec.
The extinction-corrected near-infrared colours of WKK 6092 are typical of a
Seyfert 1 and the X-ray spectrum conforms to the expectation of a Seyfert as
well. The galaxy has a very low HI flux. This could be explained by its
morphology, but also -- due to its very central position within the rich Norma
cluster -- to ram pressure stripping.
