One of the major problems with 3D spectroscopy is the adequate and meaningful display and analysis of large image cubes. We use linear mixture modeling to analyze multispectral CCD images of M51 in the visible and near-IR. We find that M51 can be modeled within the noise limits of the data as a linear combination of six components taken three at a time.
