We report the discovery of 40 bright quasars and active galactic nuclei(AGNs) at low Galactic latitude (b<20deg). The low Galactic latitude region hasbeen considered a place to avoid when searching for extragalactic sources,because of the high Galactic extinction, as well as a large number of starscontaminating the sample selection. Bright quasars (R<~17) suffer more fromsuch difficulties because they look like bright stars, which are numerous atlow b, yet their surface number density is very low. In order to find quasarsin this region of the sky less explored for extragalactic sources, we havestarted a survey of low Galactic latitude bright quasars as a part of the SeoulNational University Quasar Survey in Optical (SNUQSO). Quasar candidates havebeen selected from radio and near-infrared (NIR) data. Out of 88 targets, weidentify 29 bright quasars/AGNs around the antigalactic center, and 11 brightquasars/AGNs in the outskirts of the Galactic center, from two observing runsin 2006 at the Bohyunsan Optical Astronomical Observatory (BOAO) in Korea. Ourfinding demonstrates that quasars/AGNs can be discovered effectively, even atlow Galactic latitude, using multiwavelength data.
