A new astronomical system is nearing completion at U.N.S.W. in which a charge coupled device (CCD) array detector is matched to a Schmidt telescope, with the observations completely analyzed on-line. We have modified a Baker-Nunn satellite tracking camera, with its excellent 0.5m, f/1 super-Schmidt optics, converting it into a computer-controlled equatorially-mounted astronomical telescope. The telescope is expected to be located at Siding Spring Observatory in north-western New South Wales.
