The maturity of all-sky surveys hold great promise for galactic structure studies. Surveys such as the APS Catalog of POSS I allow large scale studies of stellar distributions where the data is very complete to a reasonably faint magnitude, uniformly reduced, and independently calibrated. The APS data covers a large portion of the sky, allowing studies where the primary source of uncertainty is no longer small-number statistics.
