These stars will be too bright for the next generation of large telescopes. We have used multi-epoch observations taken as part of the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) and the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) surveys to identify non-variable stars with JHK magnitudes in the range 16-19. The stars were selected from the UKIDSS Deep Extragalactic Survey and Ultra Deep Survey, the WFCAM calibration data (WFCAMCAL08B), the VISTA Deep Extragalactic Observations (VIDEO), and UltraVISTA. Sources selected from the near-infrared databases were paired with the Pan-STARRS Data Release 2 of optical to near-infrared photometry and the Gaia astrometric Data Release 2. Colour indices and other measurements were used to exclude sources that did not appear to be simple single stars. From an initial selection of 169 sources, we present a final sample of 81 standard stars with ZYJHK magnitudes, or a subset, each with 20 to 600 observations in each filter. The new standards have Ksmedian=17.5. The relative photometric uncertainty for the sample is <0.006mag and the absolute uncertainty is estimated to be ~<0.02mag. The sources are distributed equatorially and are accessible from both hemispheres. Description: The Northern hemisphere UKIDSS (with the WFCAM camera) and the Southern hemisphere VISTA use similar-size telescopes, and similar filters defined according to the Mauna Kea Observatories filter specifications (Tokunaga, Simons & Vacca 2002PASP..114..180T 2002PASP..114..180T). Survey data generated by both telescopes are initially processed by the Cambridge Astronomy Survey Unit (CASU) and then transferred to the Wide-Field Astronomy Unit (WFAU) in Edinburgh for further processing and archiving (Hambly et al. 2008MNRAS.384..637H 2008MNRAS.384..637H; Cross et al. 2012A&A...548A.119C 2012A&A...548A.119C). Table 1 gives a summary of the properties of the surveys used in this work. We used the WFCAM Science Archive (http://wsa.roe.ac.uk) and the VISTA Science Archive (http://surveys.roe.ac.uk/vsa) to query the DXS, UDS, UltraVISTA, VIDEO and WFCAMCAL databases. Our goal is to identify stars that are not variable, that have well-measured JHK magnitudes, and are fainter than K=16. Therefore we only used surveys with variability tables for all of the J, H, and K filters.
