Scientific paper

The current use of Schmidt telescopes is reviewed to determine advantages of photographic methods over CCDs. It is concluded that the photographic technique is better suited than CCDs for wide-field, high-angular resolution Schmidt telescope work. The large size and archival properties of photographic plates make them indispensable for the permanent recording of large sky areas during optical sky surveys.
