Description:
H {alpha} maps, velocity contour maps and rotation curves are presented
for nine galaxies in the Southern cluster DC 1842-63. These data have been
obtained from the two-dimensional H {alpha} observations at the 3.60m ESO
Telescope equipped with CIGALE, a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer.
