Scientific paper

The current project1 is a collaboration between the Fabra Observatory and the Royal Institute and Observatory of the Spanish Navy in San Fernando(ROA). It aims to transform the ROA's Baker-Nunn camera (BNC), for robotic use with a large format CCD. After its complete refurbishment, the 50cm f/1 BNC will be transferred to a new site located at Catalonia (Spain). There, it will be able to image a 5degx5deg FOV in a single exposure. When working in TDI mode, the entire northern sky will be covered in 4 or 5 nights up to V=20.5. From this huge amount of data, any observational program that could benefit of the large FOV and quick reaction of the camera is potentially to be developed.
