several months back some PF people were discussing
the finding of a z = 10 galaxy by a French team led by
Roser Pello
Now three Anglo-Saxons at the Imperial College have
reluctantly expressed doubts: they have tried to find the
reported Lyman Alpha line and did not see it.

Reanalysis of the spectrum of the z=10 galaxy

If one sets aside the finding of Pello's group, then I suppose
the highest redshift observed for a galaxy or equally well a quasar
would be roughly 6.5.
does someone know what the current maximum would be, not
counting the one z = 10?
I am still hoping that Pello is right.
