On these pages we present a subset of some observational data that was acquired with an Imaging Fabry-Perot and CCD detector. The Imaging Fabry-Perot is capable of producing some of the best kinematic data on galaxies. Basically, an image of the galaxy is taken in the light of an emission line, in this case, the light from H-alpha from regions of ionized hydrogen known as H II regions. ... H II regions are good tracers of spiral structure as can be seen in this H-alpha image of M33. ...
