Scientific paper

Preliminary results of a near-IR survey of the southern Galactic plane, conducted at 2.2 microns using an N2-cooled InSb detector at the Cassegrain focus of the 60-cm telescope at Sao Paulo, with followup JHKLM photometry using the standard IR photometer on the 1-m telescope at ESO, are reported and illustrated with graphs. A total of over 1500 objects has been detected in the region between Car and Sco; 338 were selected for followup photometry; and about two thirds of those have not been identified with cataloged stars and comprise mainly late-type dust-shell variables and giants/supergiants. The need for a deep complete ground-based near-IR survey is indicated.
