Images with subarcsec spatial resolution in the light of near infrared atomic (Brγ) and molecular (1-0 and 2-1 S(1)) hydrogen emission lines have been obtained for some southern starburst and Seyfert galaxies for the first time. The data were obtained with the Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische Physik (MPE) near-infrared array spectrometer (image scale 0.8″ /px, resolving power 950) during an observation run in January 1990 at the ESO/MPI 2.2m telescope. We investigated NGC253, NGC5253, Cen A, M83, LMC, He2-10, NGC1068 and NGC1808. Some results on the last two galaxies are presented.
