The determination by optical means of the galactic structure at great distances from the Sun is becoming more and more important. Most optical investigations, using ordinary techniques — objective-prism survey in the blue spectral region + UBV photometry — do not reach very far out owing to the heavy obscuration in most directions in the galactic plane. Only a few very luminous OB stars and some rare supergiants have been identified in some selected regions at distances exceeding 4 kpc.
