The Skymapper team are busy preparing for the early data release of a shallow imaging survey. The survey provides u, v, g, r, i and z band images for one third of the southern sky. Li Shao (left) and Jing Wang (right) from the WALLABY/LVHIS team at ATNF worked with Christian Wolf (middle) and his Skymapper team at the Mount Stromlo Observatory for the past 2 weeks. They tested different photometric methods on the images of the IC 1459 group and the Centaurus A galaxy.
