Survey Progress
6dFGS progress has been erratic
with many interruptions due to other programs and instrumental problems. However, the rate at which fields are observed has continually increased. The last two months have had excellent weather, and have achieved record numbers of fields despite only having one field plate for May. However, both field plates have large numbers of broken fibres.
- 20,000-25,000 galaxies observed.
- Relatively few additional targets due to priority weighting
