The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is conducting a nightly public survey of all 13 TESS northern sectors in 2019-2020. ZTF will observe the portions of the current TESS sectors visible from Palomar Observatory each night. Each ZTF pointing will have one exposure each with g and r filters, totaling two images per night. ZTF is also making additional nightly g- and r-band observations of denser stellar regions (e.g. near the Galactic Plane) to better facilitate variability studies of Galactic

ZTF will release data from TESS fields in three forms: nightly alerts distributed by established ZTF brokers, nightly alerts converted to JSON format are distributed via ZTF's bucket on Google Cloud as a tarball, and monthly photometric light curves also distributed via Google Cloud.
