Abstract

The UV-Excess survey of the northern Galactic plane images a 10 degrees x 185 degrees wide band, centred on the Galactic equator using the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope in four bands (U, g, r, He 15875) down to similar to 21-22 mag (similar to 20 in He 15875). The setup and data reduction procedures are described. Simulations of the colours of main-sequence stars, giant, supergiants, DA and DB white dwarfs and AM Canum Venaticorum stars are made, including the effects of reddening. A first look at the data of the survey (currently 30 per cent complete) is given.
