FORS Deep Field near Q0103-260

During the commissioning of FORS1, "deep fields" were observed in order to estimate the limiting magnitudes of the new instrument. Fields were selected which do not contain bright stars that might reduce the image quality due to scattered light. This FORS "deep field" hosts the quasar Q0103-260, which is visible as a bright white source near the bottom, to the lower left (south-east) of the prominent spiral galaxy.
