A new catalogue of faint galaxies on a 3 deg2 area near the North Galactic Pole (NGP), complete to J =24.5 and F =23.5, has been obtained from nine Canada France Hawaii Telescope prime focus plates. The angular correlation function has been measured for the first time to separations ~1°. Preliminary results indicate a power law slope of ≈ −0.8 at small separations and no sharp break for θ ≤ 1°. We also find some evidence that the power law slope flattens to fainter limiting magnitudes.
