Several U.K. Schmidt objective prism plates are being searched for quasar clustering. The spectra are measured by the automated plate measuring facility (APM) and emission line objects selected for which redshifts can be estimated. Most redshifts tested (based on Lyman-α) are accurate to 2%. Initial results from the South Galactic Pole (SGP) field show little evidence of clustering on scales between 60 and 500 Mpc (Ho=50, qo=0, at z=2.3).
