We have obtained B-band photographic surface photometry of ∼ 2000 galaxies in the Pisces-Perseus region. Combining these photometry data with redshift and HI 21 cm line-width data for spiral galaxies in the region, we have studied the Hubble constant and large-scale peculiar motions. Taking biases into account quantitatively we obtain H0 = 80 ±9+17−22 km/s−1Mpc−1. The prevalent infalling motion in the region is found to be still controversial if the biases are carefully considered.
