Above is shown the image of a distant quasar (redshift = 0.32),
constructed using survey data from Halca
and five ground radio-telescopes.
Although the image was constructed
using only about 1/2 hour of Halca data, the resolution is
considerably improved over an image made without the Halca data (shown
as green contours).
On this image, one milli-arcsecond of angular distance corresponds
to approximately six parsecs of actual distance (H = 75 km/s/Mpc).
