The Carnegie-Irvine Nearby Galaxies Survey project is obtaining high-quality images in the B, V, R, I, and K bands of the 600 brightest galaxies in the southern-hemisphere sky, using the 2.5-meter Du Pont telescope at Las Campanas Observatory.  The project website describes the scientific motivation and goals of the survey, but doesn't have an image gallery set up yet. Here's a random sampling of some images from the survey.  These are 500x500 PNG images that illustrate the quality of the survey data pretty well.  The actual survey images are 2000x2000 pixels, so the images here are highly compressed and don't show the full level of detail in the original images.  The color composites are made by combining the B, V, R, and I band data.
