Scientific paper

We present images from the first semester of the NOAO MosaicII camera on the CTIO Blanco 4m telescope. The MosaicII offers a 36'x36' field, with 0.27"/pixel in a 8kx8k mosaic of SITe 2kx4k CCDs. Initial engineering on the telescope in July 1999 went very well, as the system is a clone of the successful MosaicI camera in use for the past two years at KPNO. The CTIO Mosaic has been heavily scheduled during the current semester (1999B), using about 35 images from the first semester of use. Multicolor images of Sculptor group galaxies (NGC 247 and NGC300), part of Cepheid and globular cluster searches, and some deep R and I band imaging of high redshift SNe Ia (z=0.45-1.0), part of a cosmology program, will be presented.
