The BATC (Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut) CCD color survey started 2 years ago. It is based on observations with the 60/90cm f/3 Schmidt Telescope of the Beijing Astronomical Observatory using a 2k×2k CCD and 15 intermediate band filters covering from 300nm to 1000nm to obtain the spectral energy distribution (SED) of all objects in 500 selected fields down to mV = 20 (Chen 1994). The basic framework of the survey including instrumentation, data acquisition system, archive data system, and the various steps of data reduction has been established. About 60 fields have been observed. Most fields are still short of observations in UV band. We are waiting for a new thinned CCD to improve the quantum efficiency.
