We discuss the 3D real-space reconstruction of the optical galaxy density field in the local Universe as derived from the galaxies of the Nearby Optical Galaxy (NOG) sample. NOG is a distance-limited (czLG < 6000 km/s) and magnitude--limited (B<14 mag) sample of 7076 optical galaxies which covers 2/3 (8.29 sr) of the sky (|b|>20). We have replaced ``true distances'' measurements for all the objects in order to correct for redshif distortions. Using homogenized photometric information for the whole sample, NOG is meant to be an approximation to a homogeneous all-sky 3D optically selected and statistically well-controlled galaxy sample that probes in great detail volumes of cosmological interest. Our goal is to construct a reliable, robust and unbiased field of density contrasts covering interesting regions of galaxy and mass overdensities of the local universe.
