Brand New Candidates For Deep Schmidt Plates
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
With reference to the complementarity between large-scale, low-resolution and small-scale, high-resolution telescopes (Capaccioli et al., 1984), we briefly report here on very recent CFH telescope photographic observations of early-type galaxies which are good candidates for further investigations with Schmidt-type telescopes. The photographs were taken at the newly installed f/8 Cassegrain focus with good seeing conditions. The large scale ( ~ 7 arcsec mm -1) allows to overcame some of the major difficulties encountered in the reduction of the prime focus high resolution (FWHM~0".75) material (Nieto,1983).
