Abstract
We present a preliminary large-scale, neutral Hydrogen emission map of structure around dwarf irregular (dIm) galaxy NGC 1569. These data were taken earlier this year with the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT). Our primary objective was to search for HI structure potentially connecting NGC 1569 with IC 342 as an explanation for the starburst and peculiar kinematics prevalent in NGC 1569.
