Fields
The VLRS is based on a number of large fields centred on bright QSOs at redshifts of z > 3. These have all been observed using a combination of the U, B, R filters used at KPNO and CTIO or the u, g, r filters used by CFHT.
The field names, coordinates and primary quasar in each field are listed in the table below.
