The imaging mode of a portable Fabry-Perot interferometer system is described. A focal reducer (f/8→ f/0.95) allows one to obtain filtergrams of extended sources and, when coupled to a red Fabry-Perot interferometer (600.0 nm to 700.0 nm), interferograms of galactic nebulae. The detector is a photographic plate. To reduce the digitized interferograms, a complete set of software has been developed for the density-intensity conversion, the correction of optical distortion, radial-velocity measurements from the interferograms, and the making of LSR velocity maps. The algorithms are explained and some results of our study of the H II region S142 illustrate our data-handling techniques.
