UKIDSS is a seven year programme to carry out a deep IR survey. It is much deeper than 2MASS but does not cover the whole sky. Roughly, it covers 7000 square degrees to K=18, 35 square degrees to K=21, and 0.75 square degrees to K=23. (Vega magnitudes). The observing is now complete (May 2012) but the data is not all out yet. The latest data release is DR9 (October 2011) but DR10 is imminent. The key links are these :
