The quasar 3C273 lies at a declination of +2°. Maps made with northern hemisphere VLBI Networks clearly show superluminal motion, but the north-south resolution is poor and details cannot be seen. We have now made two observations at 10.7 GHz with the Itapetinga Radio Observatory in Brazil, and one at 5.0 GHz using the Hartebeesthoek Observatory in South Africa along with the European and U.S. VLBI Networks (Biretta et al. 1985).
