We present the first results of the TYPHOON program on the ring galaxy AM 0644-741. TYPHOON is a program for producing highly resolved spectrophotometric data cubes with wavelength coverage ranging from [OII] 3727A to 7000A. Using the first results of TYPHOON we will show its efficacy in producing images and from that we will create velocity maps, one of the many uses of TYPHOON results. From this program we will deduce the motion of gas in the ring structure of AM 0644-741 to better understand how the galaxy has evolved to its present state.
