We investigate the amount of scatter in the Tully-Fisher relation (TFR) when using optical long-slit Hα rotation curves to determine the velocity widths of spiral galaxies. We study a sample of 25 galaxies in the Coma region of the sky which were shown in Bernstein et al. (1994) to exhibit an extraordinarily low scatter of 0.10 mag RMS in the I magnitude vs 21-cm width TFR. Using the same I mag...
