In x 4.1, when describing the optical long-slit observations, there was a mistake in the reported position of slit N, due to a typo. The central position of slit N should be 22h35m59.s6, +33
580 0000 (J2000.0), instead of 22h35m59.s8, +33
580 0000 (J2000.0). This also affects the positions of the spectroscopic sources along slit N given in Table 4 (together with sources along slit M). Here we give a new Table 4 with the mistakes corrected. TABLE 4 Spectroscopic Sources along the Two Slits

Note—This corrected table shifts the positions of the sources along slit N by 2B5 to the west. It does not impact the main conclusions of the paper at all. Units of right ascension are hours, minutes, and seconds, and units of declination are degrees, arcminutes, and arcseconds.
