The Pan-STARRS 1 (PS1) survey of M31 (PAndromeda) is designed to identifygravitational microlensing events, caused by bulge and disk stars(self-lensing) and by compact matter in the halos of M31 and the Milky Way(halo lensing, or lensing by MACHOs). With the 7 deg2 FOV of PS1, the entiredisk of M31 can be imaged with one single pointing. Our aim is to monitor M31with this wide FOV with daily sampling (20 mins/day). In the 2010 season weacquired in total 91 nights towards M31, with 90 nights in the rP1 and 66nights in the iP1. The total integration time in rP1 and iP1 are 70740s and36180s, respectively. As a preliminary analysis, we study a 40'\times40'sub-field in the central region of M31, a 20'\times20' sub-field in the disk ofM31 and a 20'\times20' sub-field for the investigation of astrometricprecision. We demonstrate that the PSF is good enough to detect microlensingevents. We present light curves for 6 candidate microlensing events. This is acompetitive rate compared to previous M31 microlensing surveys. We finally alsopresent one example light curve for Cepheids, novae and eclipsing binaries inthese sub-fields.
