Abstract

We present a brief summary of the EUVE mission, with particular emphasis on the all-sky survey.  We expect to detect a significant number of objects of varuious classes in this survey, and simultaneous optical observations are extremely important in order to interpret the EUVE data of many of these objects, in particular, cataclysmic variables, flare stars, and (if detected) AGN's.  We show that visual observations by amateurs will be possible and useful.
