g′ri colour images of the sample galaxies reconstructed from the MUSE data cubes of the first 12 galaxies observed as part of the GECKOS survey. In each case, the mosaicked cube has been rotated and aligned such that the photometric major axis is horizontal, and if the dust lane is offset from it, it is always on the lower side of the image. For galaxies not exactly edge-on this means that we look at them from above (i.e. the lower half is the near half) if the dust lane is assumed to be in the mid-plane of the galaxy. The GECKOS pointing strategy was such that the entire (visible) bulge was always included within the MUSE field of view, and at least one side of the galactic disc. Here we show only regions where the signal-to-noise ratio is greater than 2.5; the MUSE field of view often extends further vertically.
