Astrophysics and Space Science, 1994•SpringerAbstract The Sloan Digital Sky Survey is a project which will produce a detailed digital
phometric map of half the northern sky to about 23 magnitude using a special purpose wide
field telescope of 2.5 meter aperture. This map will be used to select about a million galaxies
and 100,000 quasars, for which high resolution spectra will be obtained using the same
telescope. A catalog will be produced of all the detected objects, about 100 million galaxies
and a similar number of stars, and a million quasar candidates.
