2000 Apr 29:  More quasar fields recorded - most with a redshift >z2 or >11 billion lightyear range shown as a thermometer at the base of each image.  Interestingly 3C279 was reported on 2000 May 5 as in 'outburst' on BAA webpage.   Q1304+295 in Coma Berenices is at the limit of detection but a very weak image was recorded on the meridian at ~70^o altitude and perhaps brighter than the quoted [Sky Cat 2000] magnitude of Mv19.4 .
