We present far-ultraviolet (FUV) imaging of the Hubble Deep Field North(HDF-N) taken with the Solar Blind Channel of the Advanced Camera for Surveys(ACS/SBC) and the FUV MAMA detector of the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph(STIS) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope. The full WFPC2 deep field has beenobserved at 1600 Angstroms. We detect 134 galaxies and one star down to a limitof FUV_{AB} ~ 29. All sources have counterparts in the WFPC2 image. Redshifts(spectroscopic or photometric) for the detected sources are in the range 0
