GSC 2.4.1
Anticipated GSC 2.4.1 coverage with original GSC233 in grey and additional catalogs overlaid in color: SDSS-DR13 (blue) + VHS-DR4 (green) + ATLAS-DR3 (red) + VIKING-DR2 (yellow) + 2MASS-6x (purple) + KIDS-DR3 (cyan).
Other catalogs included as part of GSC 2.4.1 are all-sky (; ie, GAIA-DR1, UCAC5, 2MASS-PSC, 2MASS-XSC). Note that all UCAC5 are GAIA-DR1 sources.
