Red-Sequence Cluster Survey

The Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS) is a new galaxy cluster survey designed to provide a large sample of optically selected 0.1$1$ cluster, illustrative of the dozens discovered in the data so far. Some of the possible science to come from the RCS is illustrated by a qualitative indication of $\\Omega_{M}$ from the first 1/10th of the survey data. A high-precision measurement of the 2-point correlation function of luminous early-type galaxies at $0.4<z<1.2$ is also shown.
