2dF QSO Redshift Survey
The survey is now under way
On the night of 7 November 1996, we used 2dF to observe the very first
combined field of the QSO and galaxy surveys. With only
180 fibres currently operational the field was configured to observe
110 galaxies and 66 QSO candidates with a few fibres left over for
blank sky. The instrument is still in the commissioning phase, so these
spectra were taken using an engineering grade CCD chip. The installation
of the science grade CCD is expected to make significant improvements
to the spectrograph's blue response.
