Scientific paper

This paper lays out a wide-field robotic Schmidt telescope (RST) for the Antarctic site Dome C. The telescope is based on 80/120cm reflective Schmidt optics, built originally for a space project, and a mosaic of four 7.5k×7.5k 8-μm thinned CCDs from the PEPSI/LBT wafer run. The telescope's total field of view (FOV) would be 5o circular (minimum 3o× 3o square) with a plate scale of 0.7 arcsec per pixel. Limiting magnitude is expected to be V=21.5mag in 60 sec for a field of 9 square degrees.
