Scientific paper

Here we present the results of a deep ecliptic survey of the Kuiper belt. The survey has an arial coverage of 2 square degrees, to a limiting magnitude of m_50 ~ 25.5 in R band. The search process involved use of image subtraction to remove background sources. Consecutive images were shifted and stacked at rates of motion physical to KBOs. We present a measure of the luminosity function, as well as a measure of the inclination and size distributions from this result. Evidence for the location of the plane of the belt is also discussed.
