Results based on the deep imaging survey of the inner region (~300pc of the bulge within |ℓ| ~ 1.5°, |b| ~ 0.5°) of the Milky Way are reported in this communication. This survey is about 2.5 magnitude deeper than DENIS and 2MASS and is able to detect stars of the red clump at a distance of the Galactic center. Toward some directions we find extinction reaching AV = 50 mag. A catalog of the sources is in preparation.
