| Abstract: |
The ESO Imaging Survey (EIS) uses the ESO New Technology Telescope (NTT) and the EMMI camera to image several square degrees of sky to moderate depth through B,V and I filters. In later parts of the survey smaller areas will be imaged more deeply in a wider selection of spectral bands. The primary aim of the project is to provide a statistically useful selection of interesting faint objects as targets for the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) which will see first light in 1998. This paper gives an overview of the data flow for this project, some comments on the methodology employed and examples of the initial data. Some techniques for attacking the generic problem of mosaicing inhomogeneous overlapping images and extracting catalogues from the resulting coadded frames are described.
