Reconstructed V-band images of NGC 628. Left: image created after interpolating the aperture photometry extraction of the SINGS broad-band image. Right: interpolated image derived after multiplying each spectrum of the IFS mosaic with the filter response curve. Both images were created with a regular grid of 1 arcsec pixel⁻¹. The areas not satisfying our criteria of accurate spectrophotometry were masked. The perpendicular lines are centred at the mosaic's reference point. Offsets are in arcsec.
