Following Paczyński's (1986) suggestion, many examples of gravitational lensing by Galactic objects have been recorded as a consequence of extensive photometric monitoring programs (e.g. Udalski et al. 1994). Now that such experiments have demonstrated the capability to discover microlensing events against large numbers of target sources, it behooves us to consider whether these techniques can be usefully applied elsewhere.
