Scientific paper

We present an 11 X 11 arcminute map centred on the Hubble Deep Field taken at 850 microns with the SCUBA camera on the JCMT. The map has an average one-sigma sensitivity to point sources of about 2.3 mJy and thus probes the brighter end of the sub-mm source counts. We find 7 sources with a flux greater than 9 mJy (roughly 4 sigma), and therefore estimate N(>9 mJy)= 208 (+90/-72) per degree. This result is consistent with work from other groups, but improves the statistics at the bright end, and is suggestive of a steepening of the counts.
