The Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST) has been upgraded to increase the diameter of the field of view from 70′ to 2·7°. A survey of the Galactic Plane is proposed to completely cover the region 240° ≤ l ≤ 365°, ∣ b ∣ ≤ 10° with a (1σ) sensitivity of 1–2 mJy. The results will provide a major resource for the investigation of supernova remnants, HII regions and transient radio sources. They will also be correlated with the galaxy search from the HI multibeam survey to be conducted at the Parkes telescope.
