Abstract

Film copies of original astronomical plates taken with the 1.2-metre UK Schmidt Telescope (UKST) at Siding Spring Observatory, New South Wales have been used for several years at Edinburgh University. Two teaching packages are intended for undergraduate use; the educational packages are mainly designed as visual aids for colleges, schools and amateur groups.
