Description
The real-colour images of spiral galaxies reproduced in this Newsletter form part of a new series of such pictures, currently under construction. The original images used have all been obtained with the ING telescopes, mostly with the JKT, some with the INT, and an occasional (H-alpha) image with the WHT. For each galaxy, we have images in the B and I bands as well as in the near-IR Ks band and in H-alpha. Our sample consists of 57 galaxies of all spiral types, from flocculent (multi-armed) to grand-design (two-armed and symmetric), and with and without bars, circumnuclear structure, and rings.
