During the past few years there have been a number of surveys for low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs). Searches using both photographic and CCD data have shown that LSBGs are actually very numerous (Impey, Bothun & Malin 1987; Irwin et al. 1990). However, they are seriously biased against in any random sky survey, and even in a cluster area there are inherent size and signal-to-noise problems. The number of objects we can detect are therefore limited in two ways.
