What is the most distant object you have imaged?

Hi All, I was wondering what is the most distant object you have imaged? Some of you with large scopes and super sensitive cams must sure have picked up some very distant objects like quasars?
I did an image of Q1451-15 which has a redshift of 4.762 which is pretty far away: http://www.titirangiobservatory.com/.../q1451-15.html
I have inverted the image so the quasar is more obvious. It was interesting that in the original image it was very noticeably red (= blue in the inverted image)

Has anyone imaged a more distant quasar or gravitational arcs or other extreme targets? Einsteins Cross for example?

Have a look at this thread.
It appears that this object redshift would make it close to 10 Billion LY out

In some of my shots, i think i imaged dark matter that goes back to the beginning of time...
