The Perseus molecular cloud complex, located at a distance of 320 pc, is one of five nearby star-forming regions being mapped in the Spitzer "c2d" Legacy Science Program. These observations are expected to characterize the luminosity function for low-mass star formation down into the realm of hydrostatic cores, proto-substellar objects, and edge-on disks. By mapping the entire molecular cloud inside the AV= 2 contour, we also expect to reveal any distributed star formation taking place outside the well-known clusters associated with NGC 1333 and IC 348. In this contribution, we present a first look at MIPS scan maps observed in September 2004 and covering ˜4 square degrees of the Perseus clouds. A wide array of point sources and complex extended emission is seen at 24 and 70 microns in this dataset.
