The Schmidt Telescope is a type of telescope that utilizes a spherical mirror and a large photographic plate to capture images of the night sky. This type of telescope is named after Bernhard Schmidt, who invented the design in 1930. The Schmidt Telescope is also known by other names depending on the variations of the design. Some of the common synonyms for Schmidt Telescope include the classical Schmidt Telescope, Baker-Schmidt Telescope, and Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). Additionally, variations such as the modified Schmidt Telescope, the shallow Schmidt Telescope, and the super-Schmidt Telescope are also referred to by different names. Despite the different names, these telescopes offer a wide field of view and are optimized for deep-sky imaging.
