Already all over it, Steve.
It sounded like a fun little project, and I do have to brush up on my Python skills for something we are doing at work at the moment.

The link Steve posted has the column list. I pulled out SDSS_NAME, RA, DEC, Z_QN into a CSV file located here on my OneDrive:

There are a total of 1,440,614 records so I only pulled out the quasars with a redshift > 3, to limit the file size. (There are 'only' 75,000 of those)

The RA and DEC values are in decimal degrees. If you want me to convert it to HH:MM:SS and DEG:MM:SS, or you want a different redshift start value, or to narrow the RA range down to a specific area of the sky, let me know. I can slice and dice it any way you like.

Enjoy!
