We present detections of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect (SZE) at 150GHz and 275GHz for the X-ray luminous z=0.299 cluster 1E0657-67. These observations were obtained as part of an X-ray, weak lensing, and SZE survey of nearby X-ray bright clusters. The SZE maps were made with the ACBAR (150, 210, 275 GHz) bolometer array installed at the Viper telescope located at the South Pole. We also present preliminary results from a blind SZE cluster survey © 2004 American Institute of Physics. Issue Date: 6 April 2004. We acknowledge the support of Center for Astrophysics Research in Antarctica (CARA) polar operations has been essential in the installation and operation of the telescope. We would like to thank John Carlstrom and Steve Meyer for their early and continued support of the project. We gratefully acknowledge Simon Radford for providing the 350 μm tipper data. We thank Charlie Kaminski and Michael Whitehead for their assistance with winter observations. We also would like to acknowledge the help and fruitful discussion with P. Ade, J. Bock, C. Cantalupo, M. Daub, and E. Torbet. This work has been supported by NSF Office of Polar Programs grants OPP-8920223 and OPP-0091840, by NASA through an LTSA grant NAG5-7926; the NASA XMM Guest Observer program; and through the American Astronomical Society's Small Research Grant Program, and by an AAS travel grant.
