The Molonglo Galactic Plane Survey: I. Overview and Images
  The first epoch Molonglo Galactic Plane Survey (MGPS1) is a radio continuum survey made using the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST) at 843 MHz with a resolution of 43" X 43" cosec |delta|. The region surveyed is 245 deg < l < 355 deg, |b| < 1.5 deg. The thirteen 9 deg X 3 deg mosaic images presented here are the superposition of over 450 complete synthesis observations, each taking 12 h and covering 70' X 70' cosec |delta|. The root-mean-square sensitivity over much of the mosaiced survey is 1-2 mJy/beam (1 sigma), and the positional accuracy is approximately 1" X 1" cosec |delta| for sources brighter than 20 mJy. The dynamic range is no better than 250:1, and this also constrains the sensitivity in some parts of the images. The survey area of 330 sq deg contains well over 12,000 unresolved or barely resolved objects, almost all of which are extra-galactic sources lying in the Zone of Avoidance. In addition a significant fraction of this area is covered by extended, diffuse emission associated with thermal complexes, discrete H II regions, supernova remnants, and other structures in the Galactic interstellar medium.
