Abstract

Context. The ESO public survey VISTA variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) started in 2010. VVV targets 562 sq. deg in the Galactic bulge and an adjacent plane region and is expected to run for about five years.

Aims. We describe the progress of the survey observations in the first observing season, the observing strategy, and quality of the data obtained.
