We report the first results of the ongoing survey using HST/WFPC2 (F300W) in parallel with ACS within the Chandra Deep Field South. A sample of 34 objects were identified in the WFPC2 images and their counterparts were found in the ACS images taken by the GOODS team; 6 of them are stars. Galaxies were classified as early-, late-types, and starbursts by template fitting which was also used to determine their photometric redshifts (z< 1). Analysis of the light concentration, asymmetry and clumpiness shows that this sample is a mixed bag, containing dwarf ellipticals, early- and late-spirals, and peculiar objects which resemble mergers in progress. This result has important implications for galaxy evolution since the intermediate redshifts are the epoch when the rise in the volume-averaged star formation rate occurs.
