The Hamburg Quasar Survey is carrying out an objective-prism survey on Schmidt plates taken at the Spanish-German Astronomical Centre (DSAZ) on Calar Alto/Spain. We use a 1.7 deg objective-prism providing unwidened spectra with a dispersion of 1390 å/mm at Hγ on hypersensitized KODAK IIIa-J plates. The field size is 5.5 × 5.5 deg. For each field, two prism plates are taken to improve the recognition of faint spectra. A direct plate is taken to determine accurate positions, and to recognize overlaps and extended objects. The coverage of the extragalactic fields up to 1993 is given in Engels et al. (1993).
