While NGC 1068 has received much attention in recent years, little is known of the large-scale dynamics and physical state of the ionized gas in this nearby Seyfert galaxy and, in particular, its connection with the nuclear activity. We have used the Hawaii Imaging Fabry-Perot Interferometer (HIFI) at the CFHT to obtain detailed spectrophotometry at 65 kms−1 resolution (FWHM) over the Hα and neighbouring [N II] lines. The final maps are derived from 100 000 fits to spectra taken at 0.4″ increments over a 200″ field-of-view. (A higher resolution study which concentrates on the circumnuclear, optical emission and its relation to the radio jet is presented at this conference by Cecil & Bland.)
