The Guide Star photometric Catalog (GSPC-I; Lasker et al. 1988) is an all-sky set of photoelectrically determined BV sequences created to provide photometric calibrators for the Guide Star Catalog (Paper-I: Lasker et al. 1990, Paper-II: Russell et al. 1990, Paper-III: Jenkner et al. 1990). Although the GSPC-I has been the basis of preliminary photometric calibrations for the Digitized Sky Survey (DSS; Doggett et al. 1995), its relatively bright cutoff at about 15th magnitude limits its capability to support calibration of sky surveys, e.g., the new GSC-II (McLean et al. 1996, this volume, p. 431).
