This image was obtained by the 8.1-meter Gemini North Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii using the newly commissioned Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph. To make the color image, three images were combined to make this red, green and blue composite. These are false colors: Blue represents filter g' (wavelengths 398-552 nm - green and blue; 4 x 240 sec exposures, sharpness 0.53 arc sec), Green, r' (562-698nm, red and yellow; 4 x 120 sec exposures, sharpness 0.55 arc sec) and Red, i' (706-850nm, far red to near infrared; 4 x 120 sec, sharpness 0.57 arc sec). The field of view of the composite image is 5.7 x 5.4 arc min and roughly 13.76 pixels/arc sec. The three images were obtained on the night of August 13-14, 2001.

The bright Sc spiral galaxy M74 in a pseudocolor V-band image taken with the Lowell 1.1-meter telescope. This is an excellent example of the subtype dubbed Sc(s) in the de Vaucouleurs extension of Hubble's galaxy classification, in which the arms arise in a spiralling pattern from the nuclear region itself rather than from a surrounding ring.
