The Hubble Deep Field - South was taken in the southern constellation Tucana in 1998. The coordinates are in this link:

Good luck!
Adam - Great! Thanks for that, I was unsure if there were 2 seperate Deep Field images taken.. glad they did a southern one.

I'll plug the RA & Dec into TheSky @ home tonight and see when I'll be able to take the images. I'm guessing Tacana is near 47 Tuc ? In which case I may have to wait a few months before I can take a crack at it. We'll see.

Now I'm really looking forward to giving this a shot.

It's a shame that from just glancing at the North FOV and South FOV the northern hone has a couple of significantly brighter galaxies in it... which might have been the only chance of me seeing anything. Anyway, we'll see.

Roger.
