Scientific paper

The catalogs from two K-band surveys of the extragalactic sky are presented. The surveys are the Hawaii Medium Wide Survey, covering 580 square arcminutes to a depth of K = 17, and the Hawaii Medium Deep Survey, covering 170 square arcminutes to a depth of K = 18. The fields have been observed to a corresponding depth in the B and I bands. The methods of field selection, observations, image processing, object identification, catalog preparation, and star/galaxy separation are presented. These methods are compared with those used in other surveys.
