The Inner Region of the Galaxy has been enigmatic. Some interesting results are becoming availablenow from the highly promising near and mid infrared surveys such as DENIS, 2MASS, ISOGAL, of thisregion. The DENIS and ISOGAL surveys have already produced several interesting results over thepast couple of years. We have made complementary observations towards the M 16 starforming region toprovide additional data at an intermediate wavelength (H band) compared to the DENIS survey. Thedata will be used in combination with the other 5 bands from the ISOGAL/DENIS survey to characterisethe stellar populations in this region.
