We divide stars from the Pan-STARRS1 catalog into Healpix pixels and determine the posterior distribution of reddening and RVfor each pixel using two independent Monte Carlo methods. We find the two methods to be self-consistent in the limits where they are expected to perform similarly. We also find some agreement with high-precision photometric studies of RVin Perseus and Ophiuchus, as well as with a map of reddening near the Galactic plane based on stellar spectra from APOGEE. While current studies of RVare mostly limited to isolated clouds, we have developed a systematic method for comparing RVvalues for the majority of observable dust. This is a proof of concept for a more rigorous Galactic reddening map.
