Abstract
(Abstract only) While the AAVSO Photometric All-Sky Survey (APASS) catalog was designed to facilitate all-sky photometric calibration, especially for variable star work, it can be used for much more. This will be a short look at some of the aspects of local galactic neighborhood kinematics and structure that can be studied using APASS data.
