  Optical band images of distant (z > 0.5) galaxies, such as those of the
Hubble Deep Field, record light from the rest-frame vacuum ultraviolet (< 3000
A). Because the appearance of a galaxy is a very strong function of wavelength,
and especially so in the UV, evolutionary studies of distant galaxies can be
seriously influenced by a "morphological k-correction" effect. We use images
obtained by the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope during the Astro missions to
explore the extent of this effect and intercompare far-UV with optical
morphologies for various types of galaxies.
