Description
We present the imaging observations made with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) of the Hubble Deep Field South. The field was imaged in four bandpasses: a clear CCD bandpass for 156ks, a long-pass filter for 22-25ks/pix typical exposure, a near-UV bandpass for 23ks, and a far-UV bandpass for 52ks. The clear, visible image is the deepest observation ever made in the UV-optical wavelength region, reaching a 10{sigma}AB magnitude of 29.4 for an object of area 0.2arcsec^2^. The field contains QSO J2233-606, the target of the STIS spectroscopy, and extends 50"x50" for the visible images, and 25"x25" for the ultraviolet images. We present the images, catalog of objects, and galaxy counts obtained in the field.
