Longslit spectra of the starburst galaxy NGC 1569 are displayed. This ground-based data was acquired at the 90-inch telescope of the Steward Observatory (Kitt Peak, Arizona) in September 1998. Results for the red region of the spectrum are presented. The variation of ionization and gas density as a function of position in the galaxy are shown. The background stellar component of the galaxy is separated from the nebular emission spectrum. These ground-based results will be used with space-based data to be acquired by astronomers at South Carolina State University, the University of Maryland and Rice University as part of an approved Cycle 8 Hubble Space Telescope program.
