The CFHT Legacy Survey - Very Wide (CFHTLS-VW)
The Canadian and French astronomical communities are conducting a major astronomical survey with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) MegaPrime camera.
More than 450 nights over 5 years will be devoted to the CFHTLS, using the new wide field focus MegaPrime with the MegaCam digital camera. MegaPrime provides a field of view of at least one square degree with an excellent image quality.
The CFHTLS-VW is comprised of 3 major components with complementary observing constraints:
Each component of the survey is co-ordinated by a different group of astronomers. The CFHTLS-VW is coordinated out of NRC-HIA in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
