ESO/SRC-J-Atlas plates (film copies) and film copies of UK-Schmidt objective prism J-plates (dispersion 246nm/mm at Hγ) were scanned with the microdensitometer PDS 2020 GM and reduced automatically with the software package ADAS developed at the Astronomical Institute of Muenster University. In a single field (30 square degrees) near the South Galactic Pole 150 000 objects are found up to the limiting magnitude Stars and galaxies are separated. Algorithms for quasar search among the star-like objects are applied and radial velocities determined from the identified emission lines. Follow-up observations with the ESO 3.6m telescope show fair agreement between the redshifts determined from the objective prism plate and from the slit spectra.
