Scientific paper

The paper reports the discovery of a quasar of redshift 3.61 detected in a broad band survey of stars using COSMOS measurements of UK Schmidt Telescope (UKST) photographs. The identification of the object as a quasar was confirmed by spectroscopic observations made with the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). The quasar's redshift is the second highest so far detected and the highest for a quasar discovered using purely optical techniques. The search for DHM0054-284 is described and it is suggested that the methods provide an efficient way of finding more high-redshift quasars.
