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.
