On the basis of the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS), we have produced a new complete sample of bright QSOs.

The observations were obtained using the 1.5, 3 and 4 degree objective prisms with the 40–52 inch Schmidt telescope at the Byurakan Observatory. The total sky coverage area of SBS is 1000 square degrees from R.A. 07h40m–17h15m and Dec. +49–+61.

In all, in SBS about 3000–1600 stellar objects have been selected, and about 1400 galaxies down to a limiting magnitude B ∼ 19.5.

290 QSO and 67 Sy galaxies are spectroscopically confirmed.

The estimate of surface density of SBS QSOs in the magnitude range 15.5 < B < 17.2 and redshift distribution of SBS QSOs and Sy galaxies are given.
