Description
We report here the results of a 4-yr K-band (2.2mm) survey for large-amplitude variable stars in a 24x24arcmin^2^ area centred on the Galactic Centre. A total of 409 likely long-period variables (LPVs) were detected, for which positions, amplitudes, average magnitudes and periods were obtained whenever possible. The surface density of LPVs is more than ten times greater than in the Sgr I Baade window at l=-1.37{deg}, b=-2.63{deg}
