The products of optical wide-field survey are very valuable for their own purposes like the studies of large scale structure of galaxies, evolution of galaxies, Galactic structure and so on. At the same time optical view of sky will provide basic reference for the observation at other wavelength ranges. For this reason Palomar all sky survey has been used for various astronomical studies over 50 years. Now in the era of electronic devices, digital archives, and powerful computer systems, modern observation will replace the Palomar all sky survey.
