Here we summarize the coverage of GSC 2 and the various surveys that have been added to it.
Original GSC 2
Original GSC 2 sky coverage. Scale is logarithmic with log10(counts)/square degree.

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).
Other catalogs included as part of GSC 2.4.1 are all-sky (ie, GAIA-DR1, UCAC5, 2MASS-PSC, 2MASS-XSC)

NIR 12-18 mag Sources
NIR mag refers to the first magnitude present in the list J, H, Y, Z, Ks, K which primarily come from the 2MASS and VISTA surveys.
Soon to be replaced by one where we select from the list J, H, Y, Z, z, Npg, i, Ks, K (lower case z, i from SDSS; Npg is photographic)
