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 { { } ^ { \circ } } 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 arcmin 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 H I 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 .
