B. Abstract We have obtained CCD images of the brightest elliptical galaxy in 27 clusters of galaxies with redshifts z < 0.1. Elliptical isophotes were fit to each galaxy image. We also measured the position angle of each cluster from the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS) prints. We find only marginal evidence for the alignment of brightest cluster members with their parent clusters, but we find that our CCD isophotes are well aligned with the POSS image.
