Nine regions in the Galactic bulge were observed at J and H bands with a PtSi 1040×520 array camera which is named the PtSi Astronomical Near Infrared Camera (PANIC). These regions were centered at l=(–5°,0°,+5°) b=(–6°,0°,+6°) respectively. Each region was covered with nine frames each of which spanned 30′ by 30′ square arcmin. Observations were carried out at the South African Astronomical Observatory, Cape Town, from 1995 to 1997 using a 40cm f/5 Newtonian telescope. A bolometric correction (Frogel and Whitford 1987) was given to the observed stars by using J-H values of reference RGB stars (Frogel et al 1990).
