The Brorfelde Schmidt telescope has been modified to use a 1024 × 1024 12 micron pixels CCD camera. The field is 27 × 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.
