A short list of notable and/or large aperture Schmidt cameras.

It was housed in the dome where the Schmidt camera was previously located.

An 18-inch Schmidt camera became the first operational telescope at the Palomar in 1936.

Schmidt camera and where he became involved in the study of extremely red and extremely blue stars.

The 61-inch Kuiper and the Schmidt camera continue to be used today, though they have been upgraded several times.

In addition, Schmidt cameras and derivative designs are frequently used for tracking artificial earth satellites.

It was in 1940 that he developed the Baker-Schmidt telescope, a modification of the schmidt camera.

Starting in the early 1970s, Celestron marketed an 8-inch Schmidt Camera.

Suddenly it sprang up in front of my eyes - great shiny domes, tall towers, radio telescopes, a giant Schmidt camera.

Like the Schmidt camera, the meniscus telescope has the aperture stop coincide with the center of curvature.

Like the Schmidt camera, the Maksutov camera has a curved focal plane.

About 300 Celestron Schmidt Cameras were produced.

The satellites are in geostationary orbits, and are equipped with infrared sensors operating through a wide-angle Schmidt camera.

Schmidt cameras have very strongly curved focal planes, thus requiring that the film, plate, or other detector be correspondingly curved.

Gehrels used Palomar's 48-inch Schmidt camera and shipped the photographic plates to Leiden.

The Maksutov system can be used in a (rare) type of prime-focus ultra-wide-field astronomical camera design similar to the Schmidt camera.

Bernhard Schmidt invents the Schmidt camera.

Schorr urged Schmidt to build the first Schmidt Camera at Bergedorf observatory.

Schmidt built his first "Schmidtspiegel"(which came to be known as the Schmidt camera) in 1930, a breakthrough which caused a sensation around the world.

The Institute's former 24" Schmidt Camera was donated to the Spaceguard Centre in June 2009.

Erik's uncle was a famous optician Bernhard Schmidt mostly known for inventing the Schmidt camera.

Bernhard Schmidt, inventor of the Schmidt camera worked at the Observatory including making telescopes, instruments, and observations starting in 1916.

This allowed the construction of some of the earliest high-quality Schmidt cameras, in particular a "field-flattened" version known as Schmidt-Väisälä camera.

The Schmidt-Cassegrain was developed from the wide-field Schmidt camera, although the Cassegrain configuration gives it a much narrower field of view.
