  Note:The Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinary    (GLIMPSE), which is a Spitzer program, is a fully sampled,    confusion-limited infrared sample of 2/3 of the inner Galactic disk.
    The GLIMPSE Archive consists of point sources with a signal-to-noise>5    in at least one band and less stringent criteria than the Catalog.
    See also SSTGLMC for a description of the GLIMPSE Catalog sources.
