Results are presented from the Einstein deep X-ray survey in Pavo, with correlated optical and radio observations of a complete sample of candidate identifications. There are 16 X-ray sources detected with positional accuracy better than 10 arcsec, of which five are identified, with a further seven (and a maximum nine) probable identifications. Of the identified sources, four are QSOs with J-magnitude about 20 (one is an inverted spectrum radio source) and one is associated with extended emission from a pair or cluster of galaxies. Of the probable identifications, one is a galaxy and the rest are a subset of a yellow stellar object population which may also be QSOs. Identifications with QSOs and QSO candidates with J less than 24 account for 60-80 percent of the detected sources.
