Over the past decade, several all-sky photometric surveys have taken place or are underway. The typical amateur astronomer might think that these surveys have found everything there is to discover in the sky in the magnitude ranges of their telescopes, and that there is no reason to consider a photometric program. Similar surveys have been performed for asteroids, for example, and it is very hard for an amateur to now discover new, bright asteroids. In fact, the optical photometric surveys have quite the opposite effect for variability studies. While the sur-veys have been very proficient at finding variable objects, they are not well suited for detailed studies of the objects they find. This talk will highlight the most current surveys and what kind of objects and limitations are present in each.
