Abstract

We are currently carrying out a Ks band survey for core-collapse supernovae in the nuclear (central kpc) regions of nearby starburst galaxies with the INGRID near-IR camera at the WHT. In this article we concentrate in describing mainly the observations and the real time processing of the SN search data, which makes use of the ING's integrated data flow system.
