Abstract
We present preliminary results of an optical-UV survey of the North Celestial Cap (NCCS) based on ∼5% areal coverage. The NCCS will provide good photometric and astrometric data for the North Celestial Cap region (80°≤δ≤90°). This region, at galactic latitudes from 17°≲b≲37°, is poorly covered by modern CCD-based surveys. The expected number of detected objects in NCCS is ∼1,500,000. We discuss issues of galactic structure, extinction, and the galaxy clustering in the colour-colour diagrams.
