Call me crazy, but I want to try taking some shots and see what a lowly amateur like myself can resolve in the area.
It'd be great fun. Perhaps futile and a little insain, but fun. I'm working on mag 18 gaglaxies most of the time anyway right now, surely, surely I would see something in there?? maybe one out of the 1500 galaxies Hubble resolved??
Anyway, even if I end up with a blank CCD image, I'd love to give it a shot just to see it's really not possible, if only I knew the RA, DEC & FOV.
(please withhold laughter - I know it's crazy)

I found some information in "Atlas of the night sky" by Storm Dunlop, illustated by wil Tirion and Antonin Rukl and Published by Collins. This is an excellent publications for its price. It is a combination of Cambridge Star atlas, Star and Planet and Moon atlas. Maximum star magnitude 7.5.
The information is as follows:
Hubble Deep Field North: 12h36m49s, +62deg12'58"
Hubble Deep field South: 22h32m56s, -60deg33'02"
Hubble Ultra Deep Field: 3h32m40s, -27deg48'00"
Best of luck
