The Deep Extragalactic Evolutionary Probe (DEEP) is a multi-year program which uses the twin 10m Keck Telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to conduct a truly large-scale survey of distant, faint, field galaxies. The broad scientific goals include: the formation and evolution of galaxies, the origin of large-scale structure, the nature of the dark matter, and the geometry of the Universe. This project is led by the Lick Observatory at University of California (UC) Santa Cruz, in collaboration with UC Berkeley, University of Hawaii (UH) Manoa, Johns Hopkins University, University of Chicago and California Institute of Technology. The photometric data were taken with the CFH12K camera on the 3.6-meter Canada-France-Hawai'i Telescope. Each DEEP2 field is covered by multiple CFHT/CFH12K pointings with each pointing numbered within its respective
