| Abstract | The UK 1.2m Schmidt Telescope (UKST) at Siding Spring Observatory in Australia has been routinely using panchromatic Tech-Pan emulsion on film as a detector since 1992. Details of how the telescope was adapted to take film and how hypersensitization techniques have been modified for film have been described by Parker (1992). The film has a much finer grain than its equivalent spectroscopic emulsion on glass (IIIa-F) and consequently records images typically one magnitude fainter than IIIa-F when properly hypersensitized. The improved depth, resolution and low noise also permit better differentiation between stars and galaxies (see Parker et al. 1994). Consequently Tech-Pan film has become one of the most useful and commonly used emulsions at the UKST for a variety of passbands and may in time be used for a full or partial sky survey. |
