Abstract. The Brorfelde Schmidt telescope has been modified to use a 1024 X 1024 12 micron pixels CCD camera. The field is 27 X 27 arcmin. When required, the spatial sampling is improved by co-adding multiple exposures with small offsets. The telescope is operated in service mode, with one observer carrying out several different observing programmes in parallel. The telescope is particularly well suited for long term monitoring programmes, most notably photometric monitoring of gravitationally lensed QSOs and searches for extragalactic supernovae.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
