The present study is concerned with the application of the Automated Quasar Detection (AQD) process to a field containing the south galactic pole. This field, usually known as the SGP (South Galactic Pole) field, although centered about 1 deg from the pole, represents one of two undisputed 'selected areas' in the Southern Hemisphere. Visual searching procedures for quasar candidates have certain drawbacks. Thus, the selection criteria are not specified numerically, AQD was developed to overcome these shortcomings for objective-prism plates. Clowes et al. (1984) have provided a description of the original implementation of the AQD. The present paper describes some enhancements to AQD which have been introduced since the original implementation. Details regarding the specific application of AQD to the SGP field are also discussed. It is shown that some substantial progress can be made in quasar clustering studies using only objective-prism data.
