A new z = 6.02 quasar, selected from SDSS photometry, was discovered using the MMT Red Channel Spectrograph. Although it was observed through heavy clouds, the Ly-alpha feature is strong enough for identification. This is the seventh highest redshift quasar so far; the 3rd-highest at z = 6.2 was discovered at the MMT by the same group in June 2003. Observers were Xiaohui Fan, Jennifer Donley, and Linhua Jiang of Steward Observatory.
