Schmidt in degrees, minutes, seconds (N or S) none the person, company or institution that created the mirror equatorial telescope Schmidt material and other engineering details height above sea level in meters or primary mirror diameter equatorial A type of reflecting telescope (more accurately, a large camera) in which the coma produced by a spherical concave mirror is compensated for by a thin correcting lens placed at the opening of the telescope tube. The Schmidt has a usable field of 0^°.6. the person, company or institution that constructed the mounting in degrees, minutes, seconds (E or W) equal to aperture (except for Schmidt which has aperture smaller than mirror diameter) concave spheroid
