We present H${\alpha}$ emission line measurements of the W80 nebular complex. A total of 26 regions have been observed inside the nebula with the Dual Etalon Fabry-Perot Optical Spectrometer (DEFPOS) system at the f/48 Coude focus of 150 cm RTT150 telescope located at TUBITAK National Observatory (TUG) in Antalya/Turkey. The intensities, the local standard of rest (LSR) velocities ($V_{LSR}$), heliocentric radial velocities ($V_{HEL}$) and the linewidths at Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of the H${\alpha}$ emission lines have been determined from these observations. They lie in the range of 259 to 1159 Rayleigh {1R = 10$^{6}/4\pi$ photons cm$^{-2}$ sr$^{-1}$ s$^{-1}$ = 2.4110$^{-7}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ sr$^{-1}$ s$^{-1}$ at H${\alpha}$.} (R), 4 to 12 km s$^{-1}$ and 44 to 55 km s$^{-1}$, respectively. The radial velocity measurements show that there are several maxima and minima inside the W80. The new results confirm the literature that complex seems to be rather a uniform in radial velocity and no seen turbulent motion inside the complex. The average value of the calculated the Emission Measure (EM) for the regions is 3.1 pc cm$^{-6}$.
