The Muenster Redshift Project

The Muenster Redshift Project is based on microdensitometer scans of pairs of direct and objective prism Schmidt plates, used for the determination of positions, magnitudes, morphological types, and low-dispersion redshifts of galaxies and quasars. From these data structural features and parameters which characterize the present universe are derived. The 0.9 million redshifts, reduced so far, permit us to take a first step towards very large-scale analysis.
