Scientific paper

FOC images of the faint (U=23) optical knots in the radio galaxy 3C66B will help assess the ability of the FOC to determine accurate spatial and photometric information at near uv and visible wavelengths for a source whose structure is known from VLA observations. The data will also indicate the quality with which the camera can determine faint galaxy morphology. Scientifically the observations will be most interesting since for the first time we will achieve a resolution actually better than the VLA data, and high spatial resolution optical data on synchrotron jets is currently non-existent. We predict a total of about 4000counts per knot. Accurate target acquisition capability is an essential prerequisite. Accurate psf images through target filters are essential.
