Uppsala Southern Schmidt Telescope
The
Uppsala
Schmidt Telescope
was moved to
Siding Spring Observatory
from
Mount Stromlo Observatory
in 1982. The instrument has been used to study our galaxy, asteroids and comets. It was last dedicated to the
Siding Spring Survey
. The telescope had a
field of view
of just over 6° through the use of a
correcting plate
, making its field three times as large as that of the
Anglo-Australian Telescope
. It used a spherical rather than a parabolic mirror with 0.6 m correcting plate to achieve this.
Photographic plates
and film were used as detectors.
