| Abstract | We present the first results of an observational project aimed at producing a database of nearby face-on spiral galaxies in the optical. The project is being run at the IAC-80 telescope in Tenerife. This first sample is made of from R and I images of NGC 428, 864, 2146, 2273, 2541, 2967, 4618, 4654, 6217, and 6643. Overall geometrical parameters are obtained via ellipse fitting to the observed surface photometry. The ... |
