A robotic reflective Schmidt telescope for Dome C
Abstract This paper lays out a wide‐field robotic Schmidt telescope (RST) for the Antarctic site Dome C. The telescope is based on 80/120 cm reflective Schmidt optics, built originally for a space project, and a mosaic of four 7.5 k × 7.5 k 8‐ μ m thinned CCDs from the PEPSI/LBT wafer run. The teles...
