HERON used a dedicated 0.7-m telescope to image the haloes of 124 galaxies in
the Local Volume to surface brightnesses of 28-30 mag/arcsec^2. The sample is
primarily from the Two Micron All Sky Survey Large Galaxy Atlas and extended to include
nearby dwarf galaxies and more distant giant ellipticals, and spans fully the
galaxy color-magnitude diagram including the blue cloud and red sequence.
