(UK) Schmidt - AAO style into the 1990s
Abstract
Recommendations on the use of the AAO UK Schmidt telescope during the next three years are presented. There are four important functions which must be maintained: (1) the science from the schmidt material must continue to be of the same high quality as that on which the Schmidt's reputation has been built; (2) the service to the Australian and British communities must continue despite the new trim (slim) appearance of the Schmidt staff and budget; (3) links with ROE, its plate library and photolabs which provide some of the survey atlases must be maintained; and (4) Australian and British usage of the UK's large measuring machines APM and COSMOS should be promoted.
