We carried out the ‘Kiso Outer Galaxy Survey’ (KOGS) project to measure the size of the Galactic stellar disk. UBV I-band images of the outer Galactic disk were obtained using the Kiso Schmidt telescope equipped with a 2kCCD camera. We found that the stellar density distribution is an exponential disk which appears extended beyond 20 kpc.
